Yeah baby! I'll be looking extra hard at ATI prices for the next few weeks, I'm booking for a new card.

I've got to get onto the PCI-E bus before I can even think about such things ...

Now you decide to get ATI? Because of low prices? I've always used ATI because they're evidently superior, whatever price i had to pay.

Most of my cards have been ATI from the start. But I'm looking hard at the Nvidia 7800 in AGP, then I can save some money by keeping my AGP MB for now and still get a card that has the Shader 3 options (the AGP ATI cards don't have Shader 3 enabled, which it must be!). Then in a year or so I can sell my entire AGP setup of CPU, MB and video card and go PCI-E. Sounds like a plan.

In fairness, Ive had a few ATI cards myself (still do), and I would consider myself a bit of an ATI fanboy, but the 7800 kicks the 1900's ass!

Bring on a price war!

I've been an nVidia man, but the X1900s really seem to be thrashing the 7800s, and the 7900s don't seem set to retake the crown. Pricing gonna be a big issue here though, since nVidia really seems to be going aggressive on that mark.
