7900 GT 256mb or X1800 XT 256mb?

Which one and why?

Which is "The Best". Come on guys, i want a new card and these are two that fit my budget. Can't afford anymore so lets see which one comes out on top with you guys.
 
So far the X1800 XT is in the lead. I am not going to volt mod as i don't want to destroy a card! Might be easy for some. All i want is the best card out of the 2. It needs to be able to clock well too (without volt modding). It also has to be able to play all games that are out now and any that may be coming out shortly.

Which card gives you the best 'eye candy' too?
 
Well, swaying towards the 7900 GT 256mb now! Looks like a nice little card. I am going to have to sell my 7800 GT anyway so i'll have a good bit to put towards the new card.
 
So, is the X1800XT a better card than the 7900 GT? Still unsure which to go for. Pros and Cons for each card. I like the high Core on the ATI card. I don't fancy doing a volt mod on the Nvid card.

Need to make my mind up!! My last card was an Nvidia one but i am not swayed either way really. I just want the best one out of the 2. I can't afford to go any higher in price!

Anymore help?

They're both good cards. Both are very good value for money now and I'm sure you'd be pleased with either. The X1800XT is slightly ahead in DirectX, the 7900GT is slightly ahead in OpenGL. The 7900GT overclocks more, but the X1800XT is faster stock.

I just upgraded from a Geforce4 to an X1800XT 256Mb and I'm very pleased with the card. I get just over 9000 marks in 3DMark05, for what that's worth.

I thought you would have got more than that in 3D Mark 05?
 
Well, my 7900 gets 9,200 in 3D Mark 05. But that doesn't mean anything does it? Is it right that the X1800XT give you a better picture?

I thought that being as it had a high Core to start with it would be better than the 7900. Must score much higher when clocked too?
