Which GPU?

[chaikovski2002]

Which card is right for me, im going to upgrade soon from 6800gt agp, to a conroe build. I leaning towards x1950xt fro around $250'sh. I game at 1280x1024 everything on high, oblivion, f.e.a.r, nfs:most wanted, all the latest games. What do you guys think? Will the card last till next summer?

Well, you're in the same boat as me, going from 6800 agp...Also in the 1280x1024 boat (my native resolution of my LCD)

And for us, this is a good thing. Playing at a resolution such as 1280x1024, with a conroe, it doesnt take the highest of the high end video card to run maxxed out settings.

The x1950xt will be a great card for your needs, and since you asked if it will "last" till next summer, there will be dx10 games coming out by then, so you wont miss out on TOO many in the meantime.
