x1800xl vs 7900gt?

fps justin · July 24th, 2006

which one would you rather buy? They are both 250 canadian after rebates.

...and can the x1800xl be flashed to XT?

I'd go with the 7900GT.

sbohdan · July 24th, 2006

I would choose the 7900GT. it is faster than the 1800XL, in synthetic benches allmost as fast as the 1900XTX (in FEAR surpassing it). read here:

with a little voltmod and OC you can reach up to 800Mhz on the core and 1700Mhz on the memory, surpassing the 7900GTX :

BTW: where did you find it for 250CDN ?

the XT has 512MB of ram so flashing if possible, than only with modified bios

Yea! I'd like to know as well. I checked NCIX and saw a bunch with rebates but nothing as low as 250.

The cheapest that I have found is through Monarch for 262.69 usd

wow :shock: That is a great price, even though it is an open box

X1800XL OC very nice. My first X1800XL, on air, clocked to 675/1400. With a Pentium D 920 it scored 9201 3Dmarks in 05.

I would buy the X1800XL over a 7900GT for IQ alone. Just my opinion.
