Now I'll say this right up front: I'm an "nvidiot". I've never owned a single ATI video card in my life, and up until recently, never planned to.
However, after reading a lot of the benchmarks today, it seems that the 7900GTX hasn't entirely dethroned the 1900. Like stated in some other threads, the newer, shader heavy games show the 1900 coming out on top, where the older games, while extremely close, show the 7900GTX on top.
I have to make a decision on a card soon because my 6600GT is on the fritz, and my in-game FPS has been suffering as of late. I'm willing to spend about $500, maybe a little more.
Does it make sense to wait for these places to get the Superclocked EVGA GTX back in stock, or just pull the trigger on the 1900?
Which 1900 is best?
How well/easily does it Overclock?
Why would I stick with nvidia if the NEW stuff seems to work best with ATI?
The game I play the most is Counter-Strike Source (built on HL2 engine). I don't know why this decision is so hard for me to make, but I'd really like to get a new card soon. At this point, I'm willing to drop my fanboy ranking (sorry guys <3 youuu) to get a great card.
