HD 2600 Pro

So I should just get a DX9 card for now...since I`ll upgrade sometime this fall?jfkunrendered

If you want Dx10 go for 8800GTS at ast if not a good dx9 like x1950Pro is the best choice for you. Those two games that you specifyed are dx9 games so...

Dude, even an X1650 XT can outperform the 2600/8600 series.

Since you're not looking at DX10, I recommend going for a good DX9 mainstream card (X1650 XT, 7600GT, X1900 GT, X1950 GT and X1950 PRO).

I was a bit close, but still, the 8600/2600 are pretty underwhelming.

I like this review better,

http://xtreview.com/review203.htm

It shows the 8600 performing at about the same level as a 7950 or 1950

Wesker776,trustedreviews? try anandtech or xbitlabs,their reviews show that the 8600GTS kills the X1650XT.
