I just blew my 7900 GS and my dad said hes willing to replace the card for my birthday. My budget goes all the way up to the 8800 GTX but with my current pc being an x2 3800+, I figure the highest I want to go is a 8800 GTS or a x1950 XTX/XT. Whats the best option for me: a 8800 GTS, x1950 XTX, or a x1950 XT?
 
I'd say the GTS because it's DX10 compatible already, so you'll be set for a while. Although the 1950XTX has a higher core and memory clock, the GTS has a much greater amount of pixel pipelines.
 
Ok, I would have just gotten the same 7900 GS but after getting my new monitor, 1650x1080 is the only resolution I will play at and the GS has an issue keeping good frame rates at that resolution.
 
Ok well n/m he finally told me the budget which is really $250, so whats a good card for 250$?

I came up with either a EVGA or XFX 7950 GT 512mb. I figure if I overclock the gpu and ram I can get it up to 7900 GTX specs and I can play my migher resolutions pretty good.
 
One of the XFX 7900Gt comes factory overclocked to a 7900GTX if u want to save some money. theres 2 versions though so make sure you pick the right one lol
