Need recommendations for new PCI-E card

[oblivionx]

i want to get a new PCI-e card, but i'm on a somewhat limited budget. my budget is around $120-160. i was thinking ATI X800XT or X1600. any suggestions appreciated.

would this be a better choice than the 7600gt?

Yeah, that's better than the 7600GT. If you can spare the additional $40.00 now, go for it, knowing that the rebate will come later.

i disagree. the platinum edition may be slightly faster than the 7600gt but the 7600gt has newer technology & should last you longer than the ati card.

Not that the 7600Gt will be able to take advantage of those features considering it's speed.

Transparency AA may be out of the question except on much older games, but Dual-link DVI and SM3 aren't going to be a problem.
