Hi there ,
have been looking on forums all around but can't get a definite answer ... which video card would be the better choice in prestation AND silence NVidia 7900GT or ATI 1800XT / 1900XT seeing that (at least in The Netherlands) prices are about the same (approx. 300-350 euro)
thanks

"Prestation" did you mean performance?Ekner wrote:Hi there ,

The 7900GT will be easier to silence because it is not as hot as the 1800XT and 1900XT. You can cool it with the Zalman VF700 or VF900.
Re: Silent Video Card PciE
Assuming my memory holds correct the Radeon 1900XT draws 135W at max power and the 7900GT draws 90W. Makes the 7900GT much easier to quiet. Performance is almost equal so I would choose the 7900GT.
Re: Silent Video Card PciE
The difference in max power draw are even bigger than that; 110W for the 1900XT and 50W for the 7900GT.Elixer wrote:Assuming my memory holds correct the Radeon 1900XT draws 135W at max power and the 7900GT draws 90W.
