Connect3D Radeon X1900 XTX
Connect3D is no stranger to graphics hardware, and we've seen many good solutions from them in the past. We have for this review one of their X1900 XTXs and while not nearly as radical in design as the other card we're testing, it still represents the excellent performance associated with these cards.
The Connect3D X1900 XTX looks identical to the reference X1900 XTX in every way, except for the Connect3D logo on the card's fan. This is essentially another no-frills X1900 XTX package, with stock core and memory clock speeds and no games included in the bundle. While the package may be modest for this card, keep in mind you are still getting the highest level of graphics performance available right now, and it comes with a price tag significantly cheaper than some fancier X1900 XTX packages.

Because a well-designed water-cooling setup is more efficient than any heatpipe-based air cooler. See any overclocker's forum on the internet for proof.NullSubroutine - Monday, April 10, 2006 - link
i could have been mistaken, but i thought the x1900xtx and the 7900 gtx xo edition from evga were pretty much tied?z3R0C00L - Monday, April 10, 2006 - link
Not really..The x1900XTX has more features, performs better in newer games and also support HDR+AA. There are no extra's over the x1900 series that you can get with the 7900GTX.. save maybe 5FPS more in OpenGL games... but not many people play those games.
The x1900XTX is the better card for HighEnd buyer's.. better drivers, better performance and more features.

i know it was the inquirer, but the did an article on the overclocked 7900 and it showed they pretty much tied in most situations. granted, it came factory overclocked. i still personally would take x1900xtx for a single card solution, but would take the 7900 for sli (if you can actually find two cards).
