What Video Card to Buy?

[maddogatc]

I'm looking for a new video card to run on an Asus P5B Deluxe. Don't want SLI or Crossfire as it cost to much for 2 video cards. Looking to spend around $350 CDN (300 US). I've heard the ATI 1900XT is good but can't seem to find any in the Mississauga-Hamilton area.

What do you recommend of the following based on best performace for the buck? All range from $300-360

GF 7900GS
GF 7900GT
GF 7900GT KO
GF 7900GTO
GF 7950GT
ATI 1900GT
ATI 1950Pro
ATI 1950XT

Out of these cards the best choice is the X1950XT ... a retail box Sapphire 256mb version is available on Newegg now @ $249 & for that price nothing can touch it.

What kind of games do you play and at what resolution?

Yes New Egg has good prices....however they only ship to the US and I am in Canada.
In the GREAT WHITE NORTH I have found the sapphire x1950xt for $319.99 cdn which is about $285 US.

I am leaning more and more towards the ATI card the more I read. Also the Asus P5B Deluxe will now apparently run crossfire. Thanks for the info anyhow.

Will be playing computer games such as Medeval 2 total war, company of heroes, brothers in arms etc, etc with the best resolution I can get with the best video card I can afford.
