My last video card upgrade was to a EVGA 7600GT--before that I had an X700PRO (sub-par). ANyway, I have about $200-220 for a new card. My system specs are in my sig, but here's a quiick run-down:

Opty 165 (s939)
AT8 32X -- this is an ATI RD580 chipset (aka Xpress3200) which supports crossfire.
2GB ram

So....my dilemma is this: I really like the nvidia flavors out there from price-performance stand point, but there is a possibility my next upgrade would to a Crossfire setup (seeing that is my motherboard chipset). SHould I go for 7900GT...maybe stretch to a 7950GT or go for a X1950 Pro 512mb ...maybe up to a X1950XT 256mb (and thus the option for crossfire). I guess I am curious as to the fall off i'll get in that price range sticking with the ATI.

Also, I am a casual gamer, but here are my current favs:

HL2/CS/DoD; CoD2, AoE3, BFME2 (LotR series), and even a little old BF1942, FarCry and UT2K4

...but mainly source based games

THanks in advance,

the 7950gt is a pretty good bang for your buck card but if you wait for the new 8 series cards that are better for your budget.
 
Do you know when they are supposed to come out?

I assume you're talking about 8600 series cards??

Or are you also talking of the R600 series cards?

So the 7950Gt, looks great...it will do HDR + AA wihtout issue, right? I had heard something at one time of 7series cards not doing these simultaneously---probably totally off though.

THanks,

yea i think theres a thread now on those cards, the 8600s. april it says

im not sure what you mean but it probably will.
