I'd buy the least expensive 7900GS (which I think is an eVGA) and put a good VGA cooler on it and overclock it to the max.
jivetrky said:yeah, I guess I meant almost as fast
According to this review, the 7900GS beats out the x1800GTO by quite a margin.
But you could be right about the higher resolutions and stuff with 512MB on an x1800.
I'd, however, still go with a 7900GS, or perhaps a 7900GT since you can sometimes find them for the same price as the 7900GS'
i have never seen a 7900gt go for a GS price even with a MIRjivetrky said:yeah, I guess I meant almost as fast

power/heat 7900, but the ATI card will have slightly better overall graphics. However, I prefer Nvidia products....up to you.

gs price range is $199.99-$229.99

GT price range is $264.99-$305.99

There is a single 512mb GT going for $350
err so i stand corrected the xfx 7900gt first in the list has a MIR making its $232 so rather close to the GS price.
if your running the stock sink on that card. That sink is a joke compared to what was on the 6x00 cards. I mean look at it single piece of copper for the base. With a single folded piece soldered to the base. horrible HS, Slap on a now cheap VF-700 cooler and yes its nice and cool. NV's stocks sinks are going down hill unless your getting the GTX cards with HP's.ALiEN2953 said:what proof do you have that the 7900s run cool, my 7900gt runs up to 85C when its nonmodded. and when its modded it can get to 95C, watercooling here i come. i know at least 2 or 3 other people around the forum get these temps too.
good eye , i must have missed it then.jivetrky said:I remember seeing an XFX GT card for like ~$220 at newegg
