Sapphire 9550 Platinum..... or at least the Gecube 9550XT.....

dont support GeCube. For some reason i hated it. The graphic card i bought was a 128BIT 256MB 9800PRO card. The box didn't even state that i was 128BIT. all it says was 9800PRO card with 256MB. Its like omfg? I felt like i got cheated. Worst case my graphic fan got spoiled within 6months after purchase. Checked the fan. No dust no nothing. In the end it was the fan that was spoilt

my one is gecube 9550gt 400:400, best for tight budget selection.

I have never been a fan of ASUS as the NEVER follow Reference Design and are always doing their own thing to cards

Uhh, I have an idea, maybe a 9600? It's faster than the 9550 and an XT is like $40 more than a 9550. I'm just saying, I was about to buy a 9550 when I first built this computer but found out the price of the 9600, then I saw a cheap 9800, and now I'm looking at a cheap X850 lol (all of this within 2 months). I'm just saying, you probably shouldn't be like me and keep going up but if you can afford $40 more (I know about tight budgets, trust me, $40 is a lot) then go with a 9600 XT (ATI, Visiontek and Sapphire are great companies).

I also Reccomend Sapphire as they build ATI's cards for them anyway. I had planned on buying a Sapphire X800XL but the Powercolor I have was a deal at the same price so only reason Im not still using a Sapphire(previous 9800 was Sapphire and lives on in the Missus PC at XT)
