Hey guys,

Just wanting to know what Pcie cards you would recomend for a gamer?

I have had ATI always and would like to stick to them, but any sugestions are appreciated.

I like the sapphire 1950 Pro,

I have a budget of $370 (AUD)

I have got a e6750 Cpu

Thanks

jmke

is the 8800 GTS 320Mb available for <$370 (AUD) ?

thans guys, any others, or what brand?

What do you think the x1950 pro is any good for the price?

a 1950pro will run you to about $150. it's an ok price/quality thing, but only if you're using it to wait until real DX10 cards are released. (and by real DX10 i mean cards actually tested in DX10)

that is kind of my plan at the moment. Do we know when Dx10 game and real hardware will be coming out? I am just wanting to beef up my X1600 because it is dated and has a very low frame rate on every game.

So i am definatly considering the x1950

What brand should i go for??

Thanks

jmke

I would go for 320Mb GTS, worth the cost, every penny
don't expect DX10 only games any time soon
