I was wondering what the best vid card for around 100 dollars is. I was looking at the ATI X1650XT 256MB and the 8600GT GDDR3. I know that the 8600 has dx10, but i wanna know what would give the overall best FPS in games.

Also, what's the best CPU for around 70 dollars (overall benchmarks)?
 
I was about to put up the X1900GT, but thought the X1950GT wasn't much more.
 
the X1900GT Original card is faster than the X1950GT if im not mistaken. The X1950GT is faster than the Rev 2

EDIT: Actually even the Original X1900GT is faster than the X1950GT with 12 more mhz on the core and 60 on the memory, while the original has 75 more mhz on the core which helps a lot. The X1950GT is 80nm fabrication though
 
wow theres an x1900gt at newegg??

i thought newegg removed those a while ago... but nice find dude...

also the Open Box versions of better cards are also noteworthy

You're right. The X1900GT is 75MHz faster than the X1950GT, on the core. So the X1950GT, is just a downclocked version?
 
As i stated in the edited version the X1950GT is yes just a downclocked X1900GT with a smaller nm fabrication even though the X1950GT is built on a smaller fabrication process that does not help the speed of it.
