7900GS v 1900GT v 1950pro

[Curio]

I am looking into maybe buying one these cards as part of a system upgrade and am having trouble deciding which is the better. Yes, I've looked at all the benches and there's not a lot between them performance wise - the 7900GS probably comes off slightly worst, but then again (over here) they're a bit cheaper than the ATi cards, and money is very, very tight for this upgrade. However, ATi have a better reputation for IQ and can do HDR+AA etc, which I like the sound of a lot. And which is the best out of the 1900GT and 1950Pro - I've read mixed opinions.

Thanks

out of the x1900gt and the x1950pro the pro is the better card. the pro is the replacement to the gt. i have a sapphire pro they are the cheapest ones but it kicks but i am soo impressed with it. also beware of new 1900 gt's they changed the spec of it compar3d to the first ones with out really telling anyone some of the new ones have a slower gpu with faster memory but dont perform aswell as the old 1900gt

Just check out rippling's threads about his X1950Pro, it's bloody fantastic performance for £130.

Will a sapphire 1950pro run ok on my 480W tagan power supply ?
