What is the BEST video card for 200-250 dollars?

[enz660hp]

He has 200-250 big ones to spend on the last and final component of his pc he is building...not sure what to get though.

It seems to go in and out of stock.

Edit:
OC it and you got a 7900GTX.
Sure it's not a G80, but it's the next best thing (next to a X1950XTX )

That's why he has that bolded text above!

The X1900XT is no longer the champ at that range, its now the X1950XT!

 

[enz660hp]

I want to get the 7900gto if I can...but I hear that when people aer ocing the ram to gtx speeds, the card dies. Im leaning more to the x1950xt, is it 80nm? I would like to see how high it can clock.

 

[Munky]

It's simple: if you want a quiet card or have a weak PSU, then get a 7900gto. If you want better performance and features then get a x1950xt. And no, it's not 80nm.

 

[berkut7]

So, does anyone know how a Radeon X1950XT 256MB would compare to a GeForce 7950GT?

It would probably be faster unless you run at high enough resolutions for the extra RAM to come into play.
