Which of these cards?

[Keylow]

My mate is looking for a new card and he gave me the task of choosing which one is best. I'm a bit stuck though. His budget is £200 max but would prefer to not spend that much if he can avoid it. I've been looking at 3 cards but I'm totally stuck over which one to get. The 256MB HIS X1950XT, the HIS X1950 Pro or the BFG 7950GT. Which of these would be best to go for? I also take it the nVidia card still cant do HDR and AA? Also none of this will be overclocked.

x1950 XT, and no the 7950 GT can't do AA+HDR, only the new G80's can.

1950XT definitely. But depends on what resolution he is gaming at a 1950Pro maybe enough.

Okay. How does the 7950GT compare to both the ATI cards? Resolution will be 1280x1024.

The 7950GT is a bit faster, little slower dependant on titles than the X1950Pro, but it costs more. The X1950xt is fastest.
both X1950 models support HDR+AA.

X1950XT - best performance for your money.
