Agreed. In performance, the X1650pro is directly between the nVidia 7600gs and the 7600gt, but I haven't found either of those cards for a mere $50.;)

Edit - Correction...$40, after mail in rebate... :P

ATi Pwns. get anything ATi

here is a great card but its $25 more, but worth it imo

The crippled X1650Pro GDDR2 is actually a good bit weaker than the 7600GS, it's the stock clocked X1650Pro GDDR3 that beats out the 7600GS very slightly. The 7600GT just craps on the X1650Pro, and competes with the X1650XT.Hiryuu_

Uhh yes it is-check again. X1650Pro performs much better in most tests then a 7600GS. I don't think the X1650Pro was supposed to compete with the 7600GT in the first place. Take alook at the X1650XT...

If you spend around $100 you get the best bang for the buck. 1950pro, 7900gs if you overclockimrlybord7

The X1650Pro with GDDR3 memory outperforms the 7600GS, but not by much. The X1650Pro with GDDR2 that was suggested is weaker than a 7600GS.

Jesus christ, did you even read my post?

I didn't notice the GDDR2 when I looked at the card earlier. Even if it is weaker than the 7600GS, I still think the X1650Pro the best card he'll find for $50 and under. At $40 after rebates, they're givin' it away...but It's not a big deal either way, since it only has to last until the holidays. :)
