Best bang for ~$200 in pci-e.........

[herbiehancock]

Need a new card, but have a budget of ~$200 for it. While it will be subjected to some RTS games, it won't be playing any FPS or other style of GPU intensive games.


So, what'd be the best bang for the $200 price point?


Thanks!

RTS are one of the most intensive games today. Get a 1900/1950 series 256MB card beyond doubt, epecially for AOE3.

I got a nvidia 7900GT and overclocked it pretty heavily...cost me $200 on the forums about 2 months ago.

best buy had x1950pro for $199 for a while, not sure if deal is still on.

I vote for the X1900GT rev.2 for 169.99 + shipping at newegg.

RTS games are more CPU intensive IMO, except in the case of COH which is both.
