So I am upgrading my system and cannot decide if I should go with a x1950 or take the plunge and go with a 8800gts. The only reason I am considering a x1950 is to use it till next gen cards come out. I only run in 1280x1024 so most current games will run fine on a x1950 but I was looking at oblivion and since it runs so much better on a 8800gts I was leaning towards that.

Anyone have any opinions on the matter or any other suggestions for cards?
 
On picture quality alone the 8800 is the winner. A 320 will be great for 1280x1024.
 
off course a 8800 GTS , it will eat a x1950 and the price difference is not that big.
 
No don't after a while you will game in higher res.

and it is like cocaine once u start gaming in hi-res you can't get lower.

trust me get the 8800 and never look back.

i am kicking my self for getting a 7900GS , i mean it is an amazing card.

but a 8800 is another leauge , and i am not a gamer either.
 
ive own both 8800GTS 320 and x1950pro

the x1950pro is pretty good for almost all games @ 1065x1050

the 8800GTS is gonan look lil better be about 20fps faster and be able to handle 1920x1200 in most games


if you wanna save cash you can get away with a x1950pro

i am sellign a x1950pro ASUS mint conditon in the orginal box all cables everything

for 125 bucks a 8800GTS 320mb cost about 250 depending which deals you get with rebates i got mine for 289 -20dollar rebate - 269.00

it comes down to how big your monitor is depends on which one to choose
 
Thanks for all the replies everyone. After doing some digging I think I might just end up with the 1950 for price reasons and wait out for dx10 cards. Only running at a lower res so I will be fine with the 1950. I think my only concern is the possible driver issues and instability that some people have reported with the card.
