And claim the performance crown now, along with the always held IQ one 
But some research has found a crossfire X1800XT’s to still perform better … not a cost effective option to buy 2 new X1800’s over one X1900 … but if you already have an X1800XT …
Of course this requires a crossfire mobo … but Asus has that covered with a low price and extremly overclockable (325 FSB/HTT anyone :)) RD480/Uli hybrid board.
Best add a Zalman Fatality VGA cooler for quieter and better cooling while I am at it … I will soon have an Asus A8N-SLi Premium nForce4 SLi mobo and possibly an Audigy 2 (as the crossfire board has excellent performing HD audio on it apparently) to sell if anyone is interested
Performance crown in FB? Disinformation that is - look again mate 
Sorry if you’re trying to flog one btw Majik in which case I agree with you and send on the cheque

Lol you don’t wanna believe the so called FB benchie on those sites, they never bench it in our known fashion, and never say what settings
Besides one game does not a crown take
I can tell you fgor a fact 1x7800GTX vs 1x X1800XT in FB is as close as makes no odds on the same settings as I have had both cards … but most benchies show you a different story.
Their certainly is a hiccup on the X1900’s IL2 performance, on the review I saw they were showing it under that of the X1800 … but then they are using beta drivers for the x1900 so that could get fixed.
What will happen in FB is anyones guess … I will find out tommorow, 2 512mb X1800XT’s in crossfire should do nicely I hope 
No selling of graphics cards (just the mobo and soundcard) here but send the cheque anyway 
oops
Thanks mate very interesting reports, wish I was in the market for more graphics to be honest it’s dead boring with no killer-card on the market yet

Next gen is only another 3 months (ish) away … moving forward at a fair lick now.
Unfortunatley CPU’s have grown another core, which will be usefull in future but not so much right now, but haven’t gone faster 
Were are all the 3ghz plus A64’s ? thats what I want to know
