my uncle is gonna get a new video card for his son. he said money is not the problem. i saw the most expensive card-the x1800XT $599. but it seems geforce 7800GTX is good, too, and it only costs $450. both of them are PCI-e 16x. which one would be the good choice? well, to me, they both are good to me. at least is 1000 times better than my ATI 128. Wins 98 SE, intel celeron 450MHZ, 128MB pc 100. 6GB HD. ATI rage 128. 24x cd-rom. 8x2x8 cd-rw. "You know what burns my ass? A flame about this high."

It's a generous notion from your uncle, but he is wasting his money to spend more than $350 on a graphics card. Generally, I tell folks that $200 should be your upper limit. But in this case, if he wants top end available, he should get the BFG GeForce 7800 GT OC 128mb PCIe for $319 at CompUSA between now and Saturday.

LOL! you will never get the fastest card. technology changes everyday. you might have the fastest card in the world today, but not tomorrow. P3, 700MHZ, 512mb pc133. 20GB HD, voodoo 5 6000. soundblaster Windows ME. "where I lay my head is home. See that rock? That's my pillow."

7800GT is plenty fast. But between those two cards listed, the 7800GTX is the faster card. Please help survivors of Hurricane Katrina! www.redcross.org

Fastest card is Geforce 7800GTX 512MB, those have higher core and memory clock than 256MB version... And it run faster than X1800XT... TMP-Man Asus A7V classic rev 1.05 Athlon XP 2100+ @ 129x17 = 2195Mhz 1.81v 768MB PC133 RAM @ 129Mhz 2-2-2 40GB 540RPM + 120GB 7200RPM HD 128MB Geforce FX5200 128bit 276/515

Yea the 7800GTX is better if u research a bit on google u can see that the 7800GTX outperforms the x1800XT in most games. But unless ur uncles son is really an avid fan of games i wouldnt recommend such a pricey buy. a graphics card that high and mighty can easily be bottlenecked by a weak PC set up. only high-end pcs should have a card that powerful.

go for the 7800gt man! the overclocked evga, bfg, or xfx are all nice. It's a helluva card and it will run every single game out there nicely too. And it's not that expensive. The gtx or the 1800xt are just not worth it.
