Video Card Value Mix-Ups

Hello, so now that we are entering the month of May, which would you guys say is the best video card for 100-200 dollars?

Would that be a better value then the x1950 pro for 150?

Well the price of the XT is now $190. So no. It just depends really on the dough. The XT can be anywhere from 1-5fps to 10-15fps faster in some games. I believe the 1950 pro 'IS' a better value.

I would say XFX GeForce 7900 GS Video Card. You can examine all its expert and user reviews at this location, (http://www.smartratings.com/review/computers/video_cards/676). All of them can be accessed from one page only so, it will not be difficult to read them all.

buying a card today I'd go with something DX10, either an 8600GTS for $179 or 8800GTS for $260

And say you needed something to hold you over a few months, but had dual displays and both are wide screens? One is 1920x1200. Would the 8600's still take the bait?

I guess in that sense, "best bang for buck" depends on a few other things; display sizes, CPU, MB, etc.
