Both are pretty phenomenal cards. I like the $289 one though, though I'd be glad to have either.

May i ask When its comming?

Yeah, the 7900 and other DX 9.0 cards will be pretty obsolete in the end of the year. Get a 7600GS or the X800GTO in the link below. Will play the games well for you until the new cards is out. Then, when you get the new DX10 card, keep the old card for troubleshooting and as a reserve.

This is also an o.k. card if you want something really cheap. Plays even with Geforce 6600GT.
It's an "open box" card so you wont get anything but the card. But you will just have to download a catalyst driver from ATI home and you are ready to run the card.

..but is dx10 realy that good?and when exactly is it comeing out?and btw which gpu is better tho?



Posted by: goranpaa

DX10 will be able to handle much bigger pixel clusters, than DX 9.0 and the smallest DX 10 card from Nvidia (Geforce) is said to have 24 Pixel Pipelines for ex, wich is as many pipes that 7900GT / GTX have today. The DX10 cards as such will have a different architechture.

So when the DX10 games comes, You will se a lot of nice "eyecandy" with a DX 10 card. That todays DX 9 cards cant handle. Also DX10 will support Windows Vista's 3d desk to the fullest.

I guess it will be a pretty wild battle between ATI and Nvida for the gamers approval, when those cards comes out. Maybe some nice prices on the DX10 cards and probably very nice price drops on the top DX 9.0 cards.

BTW, I know Crytec, wich whas involwed in the nice Shooter "Far Cry" is already working on a DX10 supported game, called Crysis. See screenie from the game below. Looks nice even on a DX 9.0 card.

The DX 10 cards is out late this year if Nvidia and ATI is true to their statements.

im short on money and probably wont beable to aford one but i cnat wait that long so which one of those card r im sapose to i dont realy mind dx9 card but i need my comp so out of those gpus which should i gte im useing peoples psps and labtops to chech this lol



Posted by: goranpaa

what budget do you have in mind?
But as you listed the XFX 7900gt's, I would suggest Leadtek instead.
They make better cards than XFX.

eVGA is also a very good brand. This is their factory overclocked version.

If you want a very good card that is cheaper I would say X1800GTO. Beats the 7600GT. Sapphire makes the best one.
