    I have been looking at a few setups with these cards in them, and I was wondering how they stacked up against each other.

    I have to disagree with deedee:

    X1800 < 7900GS < 7800GTX

    I know it's not everything, but take a look at the 3dmark thread. Also, for those obsessive-compulsive types who have not yet seen it:

    The only other specification I wish it would show is TDP.

    I think lumberbunny is right.

    7800GTX is better than 7900GS, and both are better than X1800.
