I've been a fan of ati for awhile, but the prices on the two above cards are pretty neck and neck. Before I buy one, I would like to get a few professional opinions. So please, let me know which one you think would be the better bargain.

You can't really go wrong with either.

Personally, I'd go with the X1800 XT, but I may be a bit biased because I'm really impressed with my X1800 XL.

The 7900 GT is an awesome card for the $$ too.
 
I get fine enough frame rates as it is 😵. I do like image quality, I do a lot of work in adobe photoshop, I think I'll go with the ati :). Thx for the suggestions.
