Hello. I don't know which one of these video cards I should buy - can you guys help me :)? Which one is the "best" in games?

X1950XTX

or

7900GTX


EDIT: When will the DX10 cards be out? Prices on these?
 
X1950 XTX, but it may be tough to find at the moment. Should be more available next week.
 
GX2 does "better" performance wise in games (up to around 20fps more) but is also the more expensive card, with slightly less image quality as well (debatable). DX10 cards will come out in a few months...but its not advisable to get one till at least a few months into 2007.

Recommendation: 1950xtx unless you are going to be playing on a very high resolution where the FPS will make a difference.
 
hes asking about a normal GTX or an X1950XTX not a GX2. Go with a x1950xtx if you really want to spend the money. I'd get an x1900xt and save myself $200
 
Neither one XD lol. Do what alot of people are doing & just wait until the DX 10 cards drop & are out for a few months. Unless you plan to buy a card now, sell it, & then buy an DX 10 card =). I would save the trouble though.

Getting a DX10 card right when they are available is kind of useless IMHO. You need more than just the capable card to get the benefit of this.

1. Vista (Available in Jan 2007 if we are lucky)
2. DX10 card (prob avail prior to Vista launch)
3. DX10 capable games (which may be longer that a few months into 2007)

so what is the rush?? I have yet to figure this out.

Click to expand...

Looking at the benchmarks I find it very hard to justify the extra money for an X1950
over an X1900
 
Right now i suggest go for the X1900XT or XTX...whenever they are in stock go for a X1950XTX. I believe Monarch has them...
 
You can find a 512 MB x1900 XT for $280 or so after rebate, the same price as the MSRP of the 256 mb card.
