I know I have posted a few times. Thanks Hiryuu for helping me narrow down. I looked at the X1950 and saw it was too expensive. I can get an EVGA 7950GT for $150 or an 8600GT (not GTS) for $185. Which is the better card? what would you say would be the best choice for Crysis?

Thanks

7950GT is much much faster than 8600GT but 8600Gt has it dx10 advantage.

I think 7950GT is a better choice.

The 7950GT is a pretty rapid card, but look around, you should be able to find the 8600GT cheaper than that...I'll find you a better deal ;)
