I'm looking for a replacement card for a X850XT. It died yesterday (R.I.P; it was a great card for a long time).

Any suggestions for under $200? I was thinking a 7900GS would be nice. If there's anything else out there for under $200 that can compete with the 7900GS, then please share your info.

Oh and if you have a good idea on where to get a 7900GS for UNDER $199, then please also share the wealth! ;)

Thanks in advance
 
7900gs isn't so bad for $199... But if you can find a 1900GT or 1800xt for the same price it might do a little better... HDR+AA

Well if you can afford an extra $40... you can purchase a 7900GT.
I would suggest checking the benchmark differences and see if it's worth the extra $40.


7900GT $240.oo after rebate:

Thanks for the suggestions. I was looking into the 1900GT but they're too expensive, as is the 7900GT. I hate rebates (who doesn't) and for 1280x1024 the GS will do fine. It's for my son's PC and the GS will be sufficient i believe. He mostly plays CS:S and BF2 and at 1280x1024 it should be ok.

For your situation the 7900GS is a perfect fit
 
or if you can keep an eye at the 'egg, they have recertified 7900gt's for $200 :eek:
