I am looking to upgrade basically my whole PC, including the video card. Mainly I will be playing Oblivion, but I'd like to play other newer games as well. Considering I'm coming from onboard video, even a cheap video card will be a huge upgrade and I don't really need to run everything at highest settings. However, I'd still like a video card that is capable of playing newer games at decent settings and newer ones to come. Since I am on a tight budget, I need something that's the best bang for my buck.

I was looking at the X1850 Pro and it looks like a good card, but do you guys think it is the best choice in my case?
 
How much money do you have to spend? And what are the specs of your computer?
 
Ditto.

I prefer NV but that is me. If you can get a 7600gt for same price do it. More EE and quieter plus if you watch movies PureVideo is great.

I plan on upgrading to an X2 3600+ and 2GB of RAM. I don't really have a set budget in mine. I want my whole upgrade to be on the cheap side. I like the price of the X1950Pro, but if there's something else you guys think I should get, feel free to recommend it. Like would you guys recommend jumping up to a 7950GT?
 
7950gt is a bad ass card.. 7800-7900gt had some defects on alot of them and this is the model they fixed it.. highly recommend,, what i use till i get crazy and get 8900gtx
