Well, Im still on the lookout for card to upgrade from my x800gto for gaming.
The x800gto is still amazing but some game are noticably on the crawl.
I had the opportunity to use an x1800xt which was fantastic but I RMA'd it due to some artifacting.
I was hoping to get some advice on which of the following is best:
x1950pro (512mb) - this is at a decent price ~ US$230/£115
X1950xt (256mb) - around US$290/£145
X1900xt (256mb) - around US$280/£140
Mostly used for gaming on
Oblivion
C&C3
Company of Heroes
FPShooters
I know the xt is better than the pro but how much better and can the price be justified? Reason is at X1950xt price I could slap on another US$60/£30 and it's really into 8800gts 320mb teritory (They're around US$380£190 here in UK). I'd like to spend as little as possible but also would like to have a card that'll last for a couple of years.
Shame they didn't have any more X1800xt's - the price was fantastic @ US$120/£60.
