I just can't make my final decision. the X1950PRO and the 7900GS perform closely but the X1950XT performs a lot better (from what I've heard) and it's only $30-$50 more than the other two cards. I want to keep whatever card I'm getting for as long as possible so please keep that in mind, THANKS!

Go for the 1950XT, the performance increase is worth the extra money and you can always overclock it after.

Do you think that will last me for a couple years, I mean I have a 360 so I'm just getting the computer for the games I can't play on that.

Performance: X1950 XT

On a budget: X1950 PRO

Both cards should last you for around a year and a half (when games start running decently in DX10 mode only).

Actually, bugger the X1950 PRO. Look at this X1950 XT for only $150 after rebate!

Dude, I have a X1950XT and it fits very well in my 900 case. But check your motherboard, you never know.

The X1950XT is the fastest of three GPU's, but if you want something that you know will last a long time, buy a card backed by a lifetime manufacturer warranty.

That being said, it's a whole lot easier to find an nVidia card that has lifetime warranty than it is for ATi.
