Hey guys/gals. I have a quick question. I think I might be in need of an upgrade to my video card. My x1800GTO has done well but I can't play the more modern games without turning settings down below what I prefer. Example: DiRT-1024x768, 8xAF and mostly high settings gets me 18 fps avg with my Highest Overclock (627 core, 648 mem). I am awaiting the Bioshock PC demo to truly test and see if I need to upgrade. Assuming I do, I need to know what to get. I have a preference to ATI but I'm willing to go Nvidia if the price is right for the performance. I run Windows XP Pro, probably wont move to Vista until more affordable GOOD performing DX 10 cards come out...no 2600xt/8600 series stuff. My price range is less than 200 bucks. Oh, my usual game resolution is 1280x1024 (17 inch monitor...booo).
Currently considering x1950 Pro 512 or X1950XT 256.
Thanks!
