The ATI 9600xt is a good choice. So is the ATI Raedon 9800 pro, but it's a bit pricey still.




Yes, the 9600XT is a decent mid range card. It'll run like DooM3 like crap. The 9800 pro is a good choice and definitely not expensive anymore. Get the 256MB version.

Point is, stay away from the Nvidia cards for a little while.




Don't stay away from NVidia products. I'm an ATI guy, myself. I owned an All In Wonder 9700 PRO before I bought the 9800XT. But, Nvidia's a good company with a solid record. They have good drivers and compatability, that surpass ATI most of the time. Yes, a lot of ATI cards outperform comparable NVidia products. Not with the 6800, though.

They run hot & loud and are outperformed by comparably priced ATI products.




*sigh*
