Im down to two cards.
I know, everyone is yelling 8800 320mb, but that not an option :( Im waiting to see what comes out this summer and just need something to keep me going till then.

So
ASUS Extreme AX1950PRO
or
Asus or BFG 7950GT

I've compared on toms VGA charts and the 7950GT comes out on top most of the time.
However, the X1950PRO is 30% cheaper.

This is going into:
P5N32-E SLI Plus
E6400
OCZ 2GB PC2-8500 PLAT DUAL XTC EPP

so, if it was you, what would you do?
 
agreed. thanks. The usual noobness needing someone to affirm my decisions.
 
Dont worry, even if the 1950pro comes second in some benchies, you will always have better IQ with 1950pro compared to 7950GT :)
 
Let me get this straight. Your going to spend ~150 on a 1950pro, and then upgrade in the summer, probably spending at least another ~150? Hmmm 150+150=300, which equals an 8800 320mb. Seems like money down the drain to me buying a card now just to hold you over. What do you have now?

6600GT but its AGP, so I need a PCIe card. Waiting till summer is simply to see more variety in DX10 cards.

Exactly, you can find one of these for ~100 or less, with or without MIR. AND it will be better than your 6600GT. So save a few bucks and use it for your summer purchase.
