Which GFX card?

[m@rty]

Hey im looking for a graphics card to go along with my rig that i will be ordering tommorow.

Intel Core 2 DUO E6400 "LGA775 Allendale" 2.13GHz (1066FSB) - Retail
Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit
Antec P180 Advanced Super Midi Tower Case - No PSU (Silver)
Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU

Ive narrowed it down to the connect3d ATI X1950 XT 256mb or the Leadtek 7950GT 256mb.

i have always used nvidia cards so i dunno whether to get the ATI or not even though the specs of it look better.

Go with what your heart tells you... and use the graphics card section

what resolution you running your games at if its 1280x1024 i would get the a1950 pro and use the money saved to get 2gb of ram

Hey

Personally id take the ATI card Ive always been a fan of the ATI cards however the new 8800 GTS/X nvidia cards have changed my mind but only this one series, the X1950's are lovely cards.

Agreed, the 1GB of RAM will slow you down more than the difference between a 1950 Pro and an XT.

Out of the original 2, x1950XT though.

As said the X1950XT is the better card, but also as said I would make more RAM a priority. If it were me, I would've gone for an OEM E6300 instead of the E6400 and put the extra money to an X1950XT and 2GB DDR2.

why only get 1gb, 2gb will really help a lot.
