    Definately the 7800, benchmarking tests, the 7800 more than doubles all the results.

    To back up that, here's why.

    ATI has been pushing for the frame-buffer/memory.
    Oh, then that's great right?


    Can be. Here was the problem.

    ATI went on to a 90nm process, while nVidia stuck with their 110nm process.


    So ATI still has the advantage at that point.


    ATI - 631MHz

    nVidia
    - 550MHz (tweaked)


    But then, here comes the problem for ATI and advantage for nVidia.

    Despite the clockspeed advantage, nVidia's 24-pipeline shows absolutely no contest against ATI's 16 pixel-pipeline.


    I hope this helped.

    And also, I actually overclocked my nVidia with a few clicks and one registry edit. Very easy.

    I didn't even attempt overclocking my ATI (Although it's mostly due to my lazyness.)


    Well, good luck with the Computer. I hope you do know that we ARE gonna split that money WE make right? Just kidding.
