New <$200 Video card, got some options

[Zambini]

I won't even think about Dx10 until games come out. And even then, its gonna be at least 6 months before I buy Vista.

So, no, Dx10 isn't important to me at all! :)

Good points Ed. It's basically if you want/need DX10.

The way you're looking at it, it doesn't seem like it.

Really? My 6800 vanilla got 2876 in 3DMark06 (overclocked of course).

I haven't even run it on the X1900XT yet.

Well I didn't say it can't, i just dont want to be depressed and get <3000 on 06'.

lol :)

I'll run it before I sell it though.

I have the 8600GT, and for under $200, it's a very good card. Highly recommended.

Your card should have topped 3000. My 6800 was significantly weaker than yours.

Actually, i would say it preforms in the 7900GS range with DX9 games.

Nah, a little further back... more like 7800GT.

Agreed. Runs FlatOut 2 flawlessy, though.
