I have been using a Sapphire x850xt 256mb 256bit card for over two years now and have been really satisfied with it. However, with 3.0 shader support required for many new games, not to mention the tremendous amount of raw power needed, the card no longer makes the cut.
I have a budget of $100-$150. This had limited my choices to (all found on newegg):
Powercolor Radeon x1950pro 512mb 256bit
GeCube Geforce 8600gts 256mb 128bit
Sapphire HD2900pro 512mb 512bit
Here are my current specs:
Rosewill 450watt
Abit Motherboard 800mhz fsb
Pentium D 3.0ghz
2gb G.Skill DDR2 800
Western Digital 200gb 7600rpm SATA
Maxtor 500gb 7600rpm SATA
Windows XP Pro (so DX10 is not a necessity)
The card is primarily for gaming. Specifically I play CoD4, UnrealTournament3, Medieval II: Total War (and kingdoms), Republic Commando, Company of Heroes, etc.
Any help with deciding on these cards would be awesome. Thanks in advance!
