7900GS or X1950Pro

[PaCanc]

Hello.

I'd like to buy one of these two cards, for my next build.

I know that the Radeon is better on default frequencies.

In my local currency the 7900GS is around 500RON, the X1950Pro is around 600RON. (it doesn't matter what the price in $ is, just the ratio, 5/6)

I have read that the 7900GS is very overclockable, up to stock 7900GT performance, while the X1950Pro is kind of stubborn at OC. But I'd like the owners of these cards to confirm this, though.

Should I spend more on the ATI card, or not? (I'll definately OC them.)What do you think?

Thanks.

I was literally looking at these two cards on newegg a few seconds ago...

I'm on the fence about whether to wait for r600 to hit shelves or buy a good value DX9 card to hold me over for 6-12months.

I hope some folks help out with this! 8)
