Please let me know your thoughts if you think it is worth the price difference for the X1900XT

240$ for a used 7900gt?;)

So yes, it's worth it. x1900xt is almost like 2x7900gt in SLI.

You would be better off waiting. The 7900GT should hold you just fine until the G80\R600 get here. Or even when the next refresh in a few weeks from both companies come out.

I agree that $240 for a used 7900GT is slightly high, I have to call BS on the second part of your post. Show me a link where a 1900xt is "almost like" 7900GT SLI. It may be a better/faster individual card, but that is just ridiculous.

Yea, there's no way a X1900XT is almost like 7900GT's in SLI.
Especally why you have them vmodded and running at 690/1700 (like me) ;)

I doubt a single X1900XT is faster then them.
They scored 9,600 in 3dmark06. Show me a X1900XT(X) that can score 9,000 3dmarks in 06 with a DC CPU????

Obviously he meant STOCK ... if you wanna throw your warranty in the toilet to vmod its up to you... and yes it IS close to 2 GT's when theyre at stock, if youre gonna compare vmodded then vmod the x1900 as well to 1000/2000 ? :roll:

so overclock an xt to xtx speeds and it's the same thing. I've seen many people get super overclocks from an xt and the Op didn't specify xt or xtx he said "x1900xt(x)". You're attempt at nitpicking has failed this time.

What I want to know is how that guy got an X2 to 3GHz! That's what made the score so high, but a nice score nonetheless.

I was thinking about the XT...

How much would a used 7900GT go for?

Is it worth $100 to upgrade to the X1900XT???

Thanks!

You obviously can't read english.

He said X1900XT(x) note the "(x)" in there which means to include the xtx variation. Becides... Overclock that xt to xtx and you essentially have the same damn thing.
