need good bang for buck PCI-E card

[notanotheracct]

newegg had a powercolor x1950 pro for $129.99 AR but i just missed out on it so i'm just keeping an eye out for another deal. i really just wanna know a few good cards to look out for and their potential price ranges so i can jump on the first good deal i find.

it's gonna go with an asus ab9 pro mb and into a first gen cooler master stacker so size shouldn't matter but i'd rather avoid the card taking up two pci slots unless it's a great deal.


thanks!

This is a really nice deal. Maybe not nearly as good as a x1950pro, but it is next gen hardware.

Make sure you have a decent PSU.. 12V rail 450W +

here's a couple-

7900GS
x1950Pro

i don't really care much about dx10 though, just performance and picture quality which i've heard the x1950 pro series is great at. i found a website earlier that had benchmarks of alot of various cards but lost it, anyone have a similar link?

and i'm curious if anyone knows the max resolutions that x1950pro powercolor can handle, the info page doesn't seem to say. the only thing i like about the 7900gs though is the lower power consumption, anyone think that alone might be worth it?
