The NVIDIA card will perform better for the price. You also get Nvidia's headache free and easily moddable drivers with it. You can turn off the clunky new control panel easy enough.

Fair warning, you will need a powerful power supply. Don't think some measly 350 watt Ultra brand PSU you picked up for $25 will sufficiently power either of those cards. I'd sugguest at least a 500 watt PSU. In recent times the PSU has become the biggest bottleneck in performance machines, which is why I bring it up.

i have a 85$ 485w enermax, should suffice they say 400 watt min

im checking around on sites now, i like nvidia more, but ive seen some problems with the 7900s lately

once you get up around that price range, I can pretty much guarantee you will not notice a difference in performance. I would go with the 7900 cause that means more $$ in my pocket in the long run //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
