I have intel's 3.0ghz(2 MB L2cache) cpu but a poor 6600gt.if i buy buy 7900gt,thrn will i able to play elder scrolls with high setting coz my processor is decent.i will add 1 gb more ram.so tell me this config. is ok for elder scrolls
intel 3.0ghz(as i already mentioned above)
nvidia 7900gt
2 gb RAM
intel 915gev mobo
1) For most current games ( not near future )
Any Amd 64 3000 will beat that dual core cpu.
2)Do you have Intel D 930? The cpu is good enough especially if you can oc it.
RAM :Why do you want to add another 1gb right now. Wait and get 4GB straight.
Even if you buy a 7900GT don't expect to play everything maxed because this game is a lot dependent on the cpu and gpu and neither of the two you have are that great. However I think that mostly you should be able to play at 10X7 high/max without AA(anyway nvidia can't do HDR+AA) and maybe without AF, most probably HDR will be on but something like shadows etc may be low or even med.
7900GT will give you a huge boost. PERIOD
what games you want to play and what settings?

after the price cuts of AMD processors,which is the best AMD(AM2) processor under 10K now.
Also,tell me a good AM2 MOBO around 5K.

even after price cuts the best amd cpu will be >15k, maybe around 20k and FX 62 will be around 30k.
but under 10k you will start getting entry level dual cores from amd.
techmastermind, to play oblvion at 100% max you might need Conroe E6700 + 1900XT CF and I don't think you are willing to spend that much.
Just do this:
Get 7900GT/1800XT or 1900XT if you can.
OC your cpu and get the ram and mobo which supports it if required.
in 100% games with exceptions you wlill be fine.

u get it wrong buddy,i asked 4 the processor under 10K that is better than other processors under 10K.

they r almost equal buddy.
in some games,one goes ahead and in some others,the other goes ahead........there is NO CLEAR winner of the two.
THe winner overall is 7950 GTX which is better than both the above.

1900XT/XTX
Faster in majority of games by a certain margin
Better Image Quality
HDR+AA ability which lacks in 7900GTX
Better AF
Will perform better in the upcoming shader intensive games as it has more shaders
7900GTX
Faster in some games and in those it is the clear king.
Faster than the radeon in many paper benchmarks but when the image quality is chosen so that iamge quality is same there the 7900GTX looses. 7900GTX can give more performance at lower image quality settings.
Better AA although you can't use that for new games as it isn't that fast without SLi especially
CONCLUSION
Unless you are mad about playing a few games only like Serious Sam 2,Pacific Fighters etc where the 7900GTX might be the clear winner or for that matter even the 7800GTX, by and large my choice is as follows if you forget about the money point of view, just performance and overall section criteria for me and all,
1900XTX OC>1900XTX>1900XT>7900GTX OC>7900GTX
1900XT box overclocked = 1900XTX and is almost the same in most games with exceptions, 1900XT can be overclocked to perform equivalent of a 1900XTX provided the card can be overclocked as much and you have the right cooling.
Price vise, in US, 1900XTX and 7900GTX are at par and in India 1900XT and 7900GTX are at par.
Plain and simple, get a 1900XT around 30k, PM me for details.
7950GX2 = underclocked 7900GTX SLI
it performs between 7900GT SLi and 7900GTX SLi
Also, keep in mind that in terms of minimum fps 1900XTX will/should beat even 7950GX2 in Oblivion. But overall 7950GX2 is a better performer, but keep in mind that:
1900XT is cheaper
better image quality(IQ)
better AF
HDR+AA ability absolutely requried in games like Serious Sam2
although nvidia has better AA, there is no point when you can't even use AA and I for one don't want to compromise on HDR, however there are others who do.
with future games the peformance diff between 1900xtx and 7950GX2 may narrow as 1900xt is good in shader extensive games,
7950gx2 : >35k
1900xt: around 30k

X1900XT is a gr8 card as compared to all.
only if price was around 25K,it would have been awesome.
