Review @ Hot Hardware
Zitat
However, once we got down and dirty with the benchmarks, we weren't terribly impressed with the numbers, especially when compared to the competition. In all but a handful of tests, the 7900 GT not only beat the X1900 GT, but beat it handily. The numbers were much more favorable when compared to the older 7800 GT, or the X1800 XL, but those aren't the cards the Sapphire Radeon X1900 GT will do battle with over the long run. When evaluating a relatively new product like this, we want to see how it fares against the competition's latest as well, and the Radeon X1900 GT just doesn't compare favorably to the GeForce 7900 GT at their current price points. Of course, this situation is likely to change over time, but for now the 7900 GT is the better value. With an average retail price of $289, the Sapphire Radeon X1900 GT is a bit overpriced and underpowered in comparison to the GeForce 7900 GT, even though Sapphire's offering is one of the least expensive X1900 GTs around. This is good video card that just happens to be a bit overpriced at this time. We're giving the Sapphire Radeon X1900 GT a 7.5 on the Heat Meter.

Ich frag mich eh immer warum immer neue abgespeckte Versionen rausbringen, bringt nur verwirrung. Bei release 3-4 Karten in verschiedenen Qualitätsstufen - damit hat sichs.

Naja die ham einfach einen Haufen R580 Chips mit tw. defekten Pipelines, und anstatt sie wegzuhauen bringens dann halt die GT Versionen mit deaktivierten Pipes raus.
