Torn on which Video Cards to Pick

[veg1992]

well here's the thing, i have no clue on which video card i want, i have no clue whether i want DX10 or not, so i have two choices:


Sapphire Radeon X1950XT 625MHZ PCI-E 256MB GDDR3 Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out VIVO OEM Video Card ---- $196.00

NCIXUS.com - Buy XFX GeForce 8600GTS 675MHZ 256MB 2.0GHZ GDDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDTV Out HDCP DIRECTX10 Video Card - PVT84GUDF3. --- $153.48, After Mail In Rebate: $123.48

also is that 8600gts oem or retail??

why dont you splurge $60 for a 8800gts 320 mb which is far better than both those cards?

Yes the best bet would be to spend a bit more on the 8800GTS, but out of those 2, I would pick the Radeon.

yeah i think those guys summed it up for ya there, the best thing to do is to spend alittle more ant get the 8800gts 320mb. i u have to chose between those two though the ati is ur best choice.

$123.48 after MIR for 8600GTS is not bad at all.

8600GTS performs as good, if not better, than stock 7900GS

 

[veg1992]

also the 8800gts 320 mb is another 103$

 

[kobe24]
