Simple question

money no object what graphics card should i get 7900GTX or X1900XTx

as i'm going to get 30" dell and want to run it on that, see sig for full setup

Thanks

Both will run that resolution very well indeed. The X1900xtx beats the 7900 in SM3 tests, but loses by a few points in sm2 tests and in 3dmark06.

I would say just get whichever you can find cheapest as they are both fantastic cards.

7900GTX because to game on a 30" you'll need quad SLi

so will the x1900xtx not play games on the 30" dell and also has anyone played games on the dell with 7900GTX or x1900XTX

i would imagine you needing 2 cards, either a xfire setup or sli and then you might struggle when using AA/AF.

I would have thought that two 7900GTX's would be needed in SLI

yeah two cards definately, I remember reading that if sli or crossfire was a solution looking for a problem then the dell 30" has just delivered that problem..

looks like its going to be 2 card setup then, i just can resit that dell any longer

Then you wouldn't be able to use a 7900GTX, you'd need 7900GTZ's
