Need new video card

[jprice912]

I will be building a new gaming rig in the next few weeks are so and I'm looking for the best video card I can get right now that is NOT DX10 capable. I just want something to last me a few months until Vista comes out and ATI brings their DX10 cards out so. Any suggestions?

Well, would that be an AGP or PCIe card your looking for?

Either way, if a hold over card is all your looking for I would probably think about a 7600gs/gt. Good cards for the money.

2nd the 7900GT

no budget
no system specs

= bad suggestions.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't specific enough. This is a new build so specs are subject to change. Budget is really not an issue, but I don't want to spend a huge amount of money because I want to get a DX10 card when Vista comes out and I see what ATI has to offer. I was thinking maybe a card $200 or less.

Well, since the only specifics you have given are "not DX10" and under $200, you could try this , assuming your going with PCIe, which I have to guess you are.

ATI Radeon X1950 Pro is a good choice.

The x1950Pro is a good choice, you can also save an extra $20 getting an Open Box one.

I'd take the X1950 Pro if you aren't overclocking and the 7900GS if you are (you can also find 7900GT's for almost the same price). Also, watch out when buying Open Box stuff because the return policy can be much less favorable.

meh time will allow for overclocking on the x1950 pro

Cool. Thanks for the help.
