well i recently bought a 7900gt from XFX
it's a great card, but you should be aware that there is a mass epidemic of failing cards on the 7900 series, just google 7900gt with a problem word and you'll see what i mean
so if you do have to send it back because it starts to artefact / have broken then choose a retailer that lets you have a refund so you dont have to wait 4 weeks for it to be RMA'd by engineers.
a great bonus for this card is that it can overclock to hell, and that it stays at very low temperatures of 42-55 degrees
Radions however run at very high temps of like 50-80 degrees, which is how they're designed to work
the X1900 XT has a lot better AA
Read this article it will discuss why x1800xt is a better option for around that price

I find the name coolbits to be quite ironic, given that it's use make the cad hotter! Oh and Grey Wolf, do it then it's done, that simple.
