Well, they used to be good cards, heheh.
Hell, the 7600GT beat the old 6800GTs, so that's a good showing of their performance.

The X1950 Pro is defo a better card, I was just thinking he already had it, but didn't yet have Oblivion.
My X1950GT played Oblivion at Ultra High settings, at 1680x1050, with some mods for textures, and grass and water too. Looked awesome, and HDR helped. No AA, but who cares.
If you haven't bought the card yet, X1950 Pro is the way.
