Hey everyone,

I currently own an ASUS EAX1900XT and it performs really well but like most of us on here I want more so what I would like to know is can someone tell me which is better and by how much.

8800GTS 320mb OR X1900XT 512mb

A benchmark would be good if somebody could point me in the right direction.

And also how much do you think I could get for my ASUS EAX1900XT - its never been overclocked and I clean it all the time and its nearly 1 yr old.

BTW $AUS if possible so I dont get confused.

Cheers guys :pimp:

GTS is faster, but the additional frame buffer on the 19k-XT is potentially more useful.

For example, games that have a lot of textures like Oblivion, in situations like that the frame buffer is potentially more useful than the extra speed.

Not to hand :p just google "X1950XT review" its essentially the same as your card aside from slightly faster clocks, and being much more recent a review should have some Oblivion numbers to chalk up next to a 8800GTS review. Bare in mind the extra frame buffer will show its potential worth with higher resolutions vs the 320MB on the GTS.
