What is the native resolution of your monitor that you play games on? Do you plan on upgrading to a larger monitor during the lifespan of this video card? Do you prefer to game with image enhancements like Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering?

What is the native resolution of your monitor that you play games on?
My desktop screen res is @ 1280 x 1024 but depending on the game I play it goes down from there.
Examples:
CoH: 1024 x 768
BF2142: 1024 x 768
CnC Generals Zero Hour: 1600 x 1200
CSS: The one that has the same width as the (lcd) option.
etc etc. Just whatever runs the best and looks the best ;)

You will be able to play your games at 1280 x 1024 with that card.

I personally prefer to play games at 1680X1024, but thats my monitors native Res.

Yeah, the X1950XT play all your games

does the x1950XT really run incredibly hot like that one Newegg review says? or is he just an unlucky one?

They consume a fair amount of power and do get pretty hot. As a result, those stock coolers are notorious for being obnoxiously loud.

Lucky for me I've realized that I don't need silence in my case (yay Logitec z4-i speakers) and I'm doing what I can to increase the cooling power of my case. (buying a PCI-fan blower and mounting as many fans on the back of my case as possible)

I have the Sapphire X1600Pro 512MB pci-e and all the X1xxx cards run hot. Mine is around 58C idle and 80+ full load. I would assume the X1950 also runs hot.

With the Sapphire card I have, I have never had noise problems, can't even hear the fan. ATITool reports the fan at <35% speed, and only if I raise it to 100% manually, I can hear the fan.
