Graphic Cards Should I switch?

To be honest try that on FEAR at 1280x960 and then watch the fun as you shoot someone and he gets hit 2 seconds later dur to the fps drop....

I agree with Chaos that HDR hasn't been properly exploited by GD as yet. But AFA IQ goes HDR doesn't do a bit for it.... So take that outta the equation and with 8x AF and 4x AA from the games I've played on my widescreen I honestly cannot make out a difference.

I'm not being nvidia sided, after all I spent good cash to buy an ATI myself, and frankly was more than a bit disappointed. Add to that the fact that both the 1900 and 1800 aren't stable for 5+ hours of gaming. Mumbai is a hot b1tch though, will try in chill jabalpur during christmas :ohyeah:
 
huh?

I am in mumbai as well.

For last 2 months no AC too.

No issue at all with these. Have spent countless 5+ hour sessions of CSS / MS FS / AOE3 on this card.

So definitely its not card issue. Either you have really bad luck or ventilation is an issue.

Play games like NFSMW, the difference in AF quality is right there in your face.I remember blady came to my home and saw that.

HDR is personal choice. I wont debate that. I like it. The one thing i never compromised on was IQ.

At the moment ATI has better IQ and better performing card as well.

I did have an X1800XT for sometime only to be rewarded with a kaput card two months down the line.The card simply started to dies out/ started to artifact, this in a place where any temperature over 90F is sizzling hot.The cooler on the X1900XT and X1800XT is pure crap,I may still buy the X1900XT this time but that doesn't chnage the fact that its cooling solution is crap.
 
Actually cooler is very good. but noisy at full speed.

Get HIS iceq3 then. Or spend $10 on sound dampening kits for cabinet.

Performance is what matters. Cards do go kaput, no stopping that. Its not ATI exclusive phenomenon.
 
So, if you really like NVIDIA so much, and thinks ATI cooling solution is crap, then why did you created this thread to ask opinions from guys around here?

You seriously did something wrong with it :P. my card is running fine since february :rofl: and this is the hottest card ever in indian weather :P. Compare the number of x1800/x1900 dead with the number of 7900GTs that died :rofl: and you'll know which one has a higher chance of going kaput :P.
 
Ati does seem to have better IQ...
gaming on my 1800XT looks much crisper than quadro FX 1400 @ work...
Agreed quadro is no 7950GT though.
And abt longenity Mohit used this same 1800XT card I used for 4 months and now I have used 4 months... 8 months n it looks ok...It did heat up like crazy initially due to other issues...
I have seen HDR and I dont think its just exagerated contrast:bleh:
 
iam using my x1800xt 512mb since june 2006 without any issues

played oblivion for 8 hours few days ago with everything max @1024x768 & hdr+6xaa :D temps never crossed 80C :hap2:
 
Udit that's awesome! I too love oblivion its quite a fantastic game. GREAT graphics/environment. I am running it on a 7600GS @ 10x7,2xAA,bloom. works fine I guess but then I checked out some benchmarks and the ATI x1900xt doesn't dip below 30-odd FPS where my card drops to 17.

Can you suggest where I can get a x1900xt in India at a good price?

Oh yeah, my vote is for ati.
