I would say go for ATi 1900XT as they are the same as the XTX except for clock speeds. and I have yet to see one 1900XT that can't be clocked to XTX. Plus it costs a lot less.

The bad at ATi is that if you want to have two GC in your PC you have to buy a more expensive version of the card (named crossfire or so).
With nVidia you can buy two of the same GC and put them on a SLi-Mainboard.

But, if you only want to have one GC in your PC then it's unimportant.

The crossfire mastercard solution is about to be replaced with a better solution. The next crossfire chipset from ATi will have it integrated into the northbridge so no need for a mastercard anymore..

However I think that SLi and Crossfire is unessecary as when any games can use all the power avaible the cards are to old to give what the games needs anyway so... 1 card solution is what I go for..

As multi-core CPU's are being release, I'm sure that video cards in the future will also have multiple GPU's... Parallelization rulez!
