Ok guy and here it begin...

I just got paid and i had my eyes set on a Sapphire X1950 XT 256mb on new egg for like $175 so then i go to buy it and BAM! all the have is Gecube X1950XT that all the reiviews say are underclocked, i was real bummed out because right now im running a geforce 7300LE 128mb so then someone on the forums shows mw were i can get a x1900xt for $189, but i dont really trust other websites than new egg. well i was bummed out again and i go back to that website to look around and i find out that it headquaters is in South Bend the city i live in! so i call them up and ask how many they have left, they said 3 so i ask them for directions and drove there. I was looking for it while i was there then i asked "where is it?" and the guy response "ill go get it out of the back", well im wait for about 10 minutes thinking "great i bet they sold out" so the the guy come back and says this "it your lucky day it end up were trying to get rid of these" "my jaw dropped..." It was a ASUS X1900XTX 512mb! and i bought it for $189! talk about a lucky day : )

It should give you 2-3 higher FPS in most games. You might see a more substantial difference if your game has ultra-high textures. The extra RAM will pay off there. Otherwise the cards are nearly identical in performance.
