I cant decide between these video cards which I should get.....

 

 

 

 

 

HELP....please :(

I don't know what your obsession with ATI is.. but Nvidia has always been good to me.

 

 

 

Obligatory post, sorry.

I just dont know much about Nvidia and ive always had an ATi, and they've never failed me so I just went with more ATi's

You should check into nVidia too, they're pretty nice. My friend uses ATI and his dad uses nVidia (so do I) and they seem to be about the same.

The last one looks the best, mostly because of price. All x850XTs are the same so go with the cheapist one you can find.

 

 

 

Also check out the 7600GT they are almost the same preformance and the 7600GT has newer fetures. Such as HDR, and Sader model 3.

 

 

 

I have a x850 pro(flashed to XT) and the card is realy fast, either one you choose will be a great card.

 

 

 

EDIT: Defently go with the last one, it's retail so you get the box and it comes with games. The OEM (top link) doesn't not come with the box or a manuel which you might need.

Another reason to go for the last one is that it is a X850XT while the middle one from HIS is only a X800XL.

 

 

 

I also agree that it would be worthwhile to check out the 7600GT. Its main advantages being that it is a current generation card, slightly better preformance in newer games, slightly worst in older games preformance, newer features, Fan is supposed to be less noisy, and more energy efficient.

I've got an nVidia GeForce 6600 256mb (Planning on getting a newer card sometime, but this one works out well for me now) and I love it. I recommend any nVidia.
