£340 in US, we'll of course get ripped off though.

£340 then add 17.5% for VAT and shipping + import duty fees and you'll soon see why the card comes close to £450+ :S

time to import privately me feels

well, it's £411 phil so no excuses

Still, I'm sure your gpu is fine - wait to see what g71 brings to the table and then choose.

atm it's just like 7800 versus x800 for x1900 vs 7800.

got my x1900xt today not going to bad 11.5k in 05 and just under 6k in 06 lots of tweaking yet to be done and not a lot of driver support (6.1's dont work)

yeah, they got publicly launched on the 24th.

hopefully next month with some new drivers will see some decent performance boosts, but i cant complain for a single card

agreed. I think nvidia still win for dual cards narrowly right though?

I wouldn't mind seeing a comparison between a 6800ultra and a x1900xt though.

Hardly a fair comparison my friend - why would you want that, other than to see the increase in performance between the two if you wanted to upgrade.

No point in seeing it if that is the case - it's a no-brainer...... just get one lol

The 6800 would get poohed upon! I've got one in at the moment - you're looking at 14,000+ (450/1200) in 3Dm03, Where as the x1900 is getting close to that (with drivers to come) in 3Dm05!

I think I'm going to hold out for the G71 to arrive :B
