Ok here is the deal, i was gonna wait for the new dx10 cards to come out before purchasing a new card, but oblivion showed me that my poor x700 pro isnt gonna cut it anymore ( it runs, just not how i want it too :P--gfx junky-- )

so i had been eyeballing the x1800xl for awhile, way back when it was announced, but now it seems the 7900gt is even cheaper, even though i favor ati, the 7900gt being cheaper attracts me a bit more cause i do not intend to use this card any longer then febuary 2007, thats when ill upgrade to a dx10 (ati) card

so what i need now, are totally UNbiased opinions, i dont need ati fanboy's or nvidiots saying: " get ***** cause ***(***) rox!!! its the best!!" and crap like that, i would like to hear good opinions about which card is favorable, based on: performance, and the short time i will be using this card
