what card to get ??

hi..

im looking to get a new graphics card just after christmas like first week in january maybe..

and wasnt sure which to go for..i have two in mind,,the BFG 7950gt 512mb and the sapphire radeon x1950xt 256mb..which one do you think i should get..ive heard that people would rather get the 7950gt because of the extra memory but i dont think this will make a difference with me because the monitor will only support up to 1440 x 900 res..max i can spend is 300 euro so if ya got any other cards in mind then jus post em here

thanks

You're better off with the x1900xt, it's just a faster card overall. The 256mb of ram isn't going to affect you at all. I've only seen one benchmark so far where the 7950gt beats the x1900xt out, even at higher resolutions with AA on which is where you would expect the extra ram to help it out.

you say x1900xt..i am talking bout getting the 1950xt so im guessing the 1950xt will be even better than the 1900xt so that means i should go ahead and get the 1950xt then if the earlier 1900xt beats the 7950gt..is that right..?

is there any cards planed for the start of january or coming out before that..
