A simple Q really, but cant think of a place where i would rather get a comparison from more than you lot

As im getting a new build for a mate, i am getting the feeling i want to upgrade to match his spec that i'll be building for him, however which GPU should i get (for me this is)

the Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 GT 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) on special atm

Or the Connect3D ATI Radeon X1800 XT 256MB GDDR3 AVIVO?

I just cant quite decide The 1900 is supposed to be the fastest ATI has to offer atm, but i know an XT is somewhat better than a GT... help lol

Ok sorted, hope they clock well!?! Gonna port my Zalman VF700-Cu LED across to it, that a good idea? Or is the stock cooler good anyway? Heard some of them are very loud and @100% all the time

Yeah i already have the VF700, and know that the 900 is better by some way, but was still wondering if the 700 was worth putting on the new card when i get it, I'll have it laying around otherwise. The VF700 is currently quiet enough for me anyway, i cant hear it at all over my system fans.

EDIT: It will fit im sure, as i had to dremel it to fit on my X1600XT, the Zalman site reckons the X1*00 family all work lol
