The X1900 XTX leads the pack (as expected) the difference between the 7900 GT and X1900 GT is negligible. Let?s add AA into the mix:

Madshrimps (c)

Quite a performance drop for the mid range cards, with 4xAA the X1900 GT has some low FPS dips but is able to keep up with the 7900 GT overall.

Performance at 1600x1200

Madshrimps (c)

Performance is practically the same as at 1280x1024 with 4xAA, the 7900 GT keeps its small lead, the XTX shows of its power running 4xAA easily at 1600x1200.
