DX10 Graphics Card Suggestions

Right now I'm in the process of getting a new computer, and need some suggestions for a good DX10 graphics card. Although I do have a budget and the computer without the graphics card already costs around $679, so I'm trying to stay within a $800 budget. Thanks in advance.

It's a pretty decent video card and it's your best bet since you have an $800 budget.. and the PC itself costs $679.
Might want to get an X1950Pro or 7900GS instead though, since they offer better DX9 performance.

As for DX10 games, don't expect too much from an 8600GT. :P

Do you think that card will run Crysis well enough or should I try another card?

My friend has an 8600GT and gets average 6 FPS in Company of Heroes with the DX10 patch. I forgot what resolution he plays at though.

A high end Dx9 card could do the job.

Actually I've got some extra money coming my way now so I will have enough cash to get a Geforce 8800 GTS. I'll be getting the 640mb one so that is a good card right? This should run Crysis well enough?

Yes that card will be perfect. The devs themselves said that the game should run on ultra with a core 2 duo, a 8800GTs, and 2Gb of ram. Quick question though. What size monitor do you play on???

i ordered an 8600gt for me and my bf to use whenever he is in my house. i saw those 8800 gt something for $600 up i dont think it warrants it enough since next year we will be getting maybe a 10000 series. u can buy a ps3 for that which can last 5 years + a blu ray player.Me_Ann

Comon, atleast know what your saying before posting something...

A 8600GT/GTS should be enough to play Crysis in directx 9 mode well but if you really want to use directx 10, the 8800GTS is the way to go.
