I have to choose between these two cards, which one should i get?
XFX 7600GT (XXX edition)(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150182):
Chipset Manufacturer NVIDIA
GPU GeForce 7600GT
Core clock: 590MHz
PixelPipelines: 12
Memory Clock: 1600MHz
Memory Size: 256MB
Memory Interface: 128-bit
Memory Type: GDDR3
----or----
Sapphire Radeon X1900GT (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102022)
Chipset Manufacturer ATI
GPU Radeon X1900GT
Core clock: 575MHz
PixelPipelines: 12 (36 pixel shader processors)
Memory Clock: 1200MHz
Memory Size: 256MB
Memory Interface:256-bit
Memory Type: GDDR3
 
I suggest NVIDIA because I really like the brand. They come with copper heatsinks in them and good fans, don't use a lot of power and work well. Statistically, though, I'd say they are about equal.
 
I have the xfx 7600gt xxx and love it, no problems. on the CS:S benchmark it gets 124 FPS with settings on high and 1024x768 res
 
The 7600GT is definitely a good video card; however, the X1900GT is an even better one performance-wise. Now I can't say anything about software/features, but I'd say the X1900GT is definitely an all-around better piece of hardware.
