    it's a kickass card

    but still, for the money an 8800GTS is a better buy.
    runs cooler and uses less energy too

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130082

    and it's 100$ cheaper too.

    if you want the 640mb version then...
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814122018

    9/10 times it's faster than the x1950XTX and both are within a few percent of each other. the main difference though is that the 640mb version is more "future prof" atleast in theory(though chances are, they will last the same amount of time.)

    humm the radeon is cheaper accros the lake than it is in the US...

    still...

    just hope they don't mark it up too much for you, the US economy has alot more competition so prices are typically a lot lower here

    if the 8800 is too expensive, that card is likely the next best choice.

    Gac - the X1950 w/ 256 mb ram is 185 € and its really good
    but if you have a smaller budget get the X1600 w/ 256 mb ram for 95 €
    theyr both really good graphics cards
    i have on my dads computer an x300 w/ 128mb ram and i cant find a single game i cant play with graphics settings on full

    he has an x1650... he wants to upgrade from that so an x1600 would be a downgrade...


    on another note, GDDR4? is there such a thing?

    Yeah, and it works with DX10. So go for that.
    Wait, 300 Euros? it costs more in pounds.

    Yea , a bit over 300€ but not so much over , and since i know someone that lives in Poland , so that will not be a problem to get it .

    I think i'll go for the 8800GTS
