Well for $150 you can't get the best video card(s) on the market i.e. 8800GTX or 8800GTS 320mb but if you want, you can get a 7600gt which will provide decent proformance with all games unless you want to play Supreme commander with 1600*1200 resolution.

Right now, the best card you can get for 150 US dollars is one of the 7600 cards, but I heard that the 8600 cards will come out tomorrow

That's not true.....you can get an x1900 card for that much which is considerably better then the 7600GT.

Wait a minute. 100 British pounds is just a few cents under 200 USD. You can get a nvidia GeForce 7950 GT for that much

There are a few 7950GT cards around ebay for £120....btw UK prices seems to be higher than US for the same goods at a converted rate :(

If your interested in one of these then make sure your Power supply is powerful enough and your CPU wont be a major bottleneck.

 Not too sure what the 8600 nvidia series will be priced at launch but i doubt it will be near that price for a 7950GT.

Ouch.... your right. I never thought the GBP would get that high in price... 100£ = $198.97 Currency converter

Just found this through froogle: - http://www.eclipsecomputers.com/product.aspx?code=GC-XN86GT256&af=50

£82.19 for a 8600GT seems dirt cheap.....

Out of those, go for the X1900XT. Its better than the 7950GT and the X1950pro which are about the same. Â
