So, which one do you buy? Ultimately, it depends on what you're looking for, and whether you're looking for a video card with a games bundle. If you're looking for something with a bundle of games, the Sapphire Radeon X1900XTX looks to be the best choice out there. The extra L1 asking price over Club 3D's Radeon X1900XTX well worth it if you're after a good solid bundle. Having said that, Club 3D's bundle is pretty good too and it was the best-packed card of the bunch with its foam cutout protection.

Connect3D's card is also tremendous value (for a high-end card) at L400, especially when you consider that NVIDIA's GeForce 7800 GTX 512 costs well over L500 if you can find it available in the UK. Overclockers are selling BFG Tech's card at a whopping L646.19 including VAT. At least it's available, though. There's nothing to write home about when it comes to Connect3D's bundle, but it's adequate and has everything that you're going to need to get the card up and running in the latest and greatest games.

PowerColor's Radeon X1900XT is also pretty good value and the performance is generally very close to the performance delivered by the Radeon X1900XTX cards. Our sample overclocked to Radeon X1900XTX speeds, but it didn't go any further than that. Of course, overclocking is a lottery, so we can't guarantee that every Radeon X1900XT will overclock to XTX clock speeds. By the same token, other Radeon X1900XTs might overclock even further than the one we've got here. The bundle doesn't come with any games, but it does come with a decent amount of multimedia software.

The one reason not to get a Radeon X1900XTX at the moment would be ATI's CrossFire technology. It seems a little strange that ATI chose to use the Radeon X1900XT clock speeds on the CrossFire Edition card, as it means that the Radeon X1900XTX will be clocked down to the same 625/1450MHz, rendering the additional cost for an XTX a little pointless if you've got the vision of moving towards CrossFire later down the line.
