Don't get the X1950XTX. It's a rip. If you need a Direct X 9 card to tide you over get the X1950XT, X1950PRO, or what I have the X1900GT. Plenty of punch for all of the games comming out this year and they cost around $200 or less. I get 200fps in Counterstrike: Source, and an average of 60fps in BF2142 with everything cranked up HIGH. These cards will tide you over until the Direct X 10 cards cost $200 themselves!
