x1800 xt vs x1900 gt

[hardwareking]

I'm planning on getting one of those cards.And i'll mainly be playing oblivion and GRAW.
So which card will perform better in those games?As in with which card can i turn the IQ up more?
I can't play either well with my x700 pro,so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

P.S
And how overclockable is the x1900 gt(to owners of the card)?

toms chart, doesn't have 1900GT though

those 2 are the most power ful games in the market and even a 1900xt/xtx just might be able to cut it.
I would suggest nothing beloew a 1900XT at the very minimum.

1800XT should be fine with GRAW at 10X7, maybe with some AF, is my statement correct?

i think the x1800xt would do far better than 10x7. probably 12x10 cuz my x800gt can do GRAW nicely at 10x7. fact is even i can push 12x10 (a must cuz of lack of AA) if i lower the settings a bit.

1800XT performs better than the 1900.

Definitely go for the 512MB version.

well the oblivion benchmarks are very close.I think i'd get a x1800 xt if i can find one.And if i oc it a bit it should boost performance enough for 1280x1024 res.
Since the prices are similar i guess the x1800 xt is gonna be my buy.
Thanks for the help.

512mb X1800XT is socond only to 1900XT/7900GTX or maybe 7900GT/7800GTX in games where nvidia takes the lead.
