Been looking at the 7900/7950, but seeing big ranges in price for the same chipsets, any recommendations from anyone? Leaving this general, just hoping for some ideas to replace my aging 6600GT...
TIA,

The X1900XT 256MB does, and also has huge overclocking headroom.Rroff said:The 7900GTO would get my vote - for the price nothing comes close to it
For which, Nvidia or ATI?gumbald said:Any brands I should be aiming for/avoiding?
A lot quieter for sure, it consumes a lot less power too, but could you please link to a source about the 7900GTO being "more reliable" than the X1900XT?Rroff said:If you play oblivion then the x1900xt shines, pretty much any other game you get very close or better FPS with the 7900GTO and its a lot quieter and more reliable.
gumbald said:Why are there multiple X1900XTs in the clearance section? And if I was to definitely specify Nvidia? The MSI 7900GTO?
That particular model doesn't have an IceQ 3 cooler though, it's a carbon copy of every other X1800/X1900 Series stock cooler so it won't be any cooler or quieter.Tute said:HIS ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-048-HT)
It's the quietest of the bunch too, which removes the GTO's main advantage. HIS make really good coolers.
