    Whats better: 2x X1600 or 1x X1900

    im thinking of selling my system and building a brand new one, but the details are still fuzzy. What i want to ask is whats better: two crossfire 1600 XT's, or one 1900 XT. Just so i know, whats the fastest card out right now for ATI and nVidia. I havent been exactly up to date on computer hardware lately. Also how much RAM would i need to support two X1600's

    The 1900XT is most definitely better. The best ATI card is 1900XTx and the best (single card no 7950s...)for Nvidia is 7900GTX 512mb.

      SLI and Crossfire come in use only if your monitor supports very high resolutions, like 1600x1200 and up. But 2x1600XT s never preforms near as good as 1x 1900XT or XTX. ANd supporting 2cards has nothing to do with how much you have ram.

        two crossfire X1900 XT is obviously better than one, but is it worth the extra money? also whats better X1900 XT or the 7900 GTX 512mb

          Actually the 7950 is better at higher resolutions thus being better than a 7900GTX.

          Go with the X1900xt is is far better than two x1600xt's in Crossfire. Many review sites state that ATI's crossfire on the midrange segment is just not worth it. You would be happy with a 1900 :)

              thanks for all the information. My budget just got bigger and i decided to go for the best graphics card (weather it is dual or single i dont care.) So should i get the X1900 or the 7950?

                Depends on the game you play for BF2 the X1900 will do it right.

                The fastest Video card out now is the 7950GX2 I think it goes for about 600~.
