[QUOTE="frost_mourne13"]The x1950XT outperforms the 512MB version of the GT, the 256MB version is no match for it. Plus, the XT costs less than the GT. Out of those three, the XT is the best performing card by far. Just make sure you have
enough juice in your PSU to power it.Heretic32

So you're saying the X1950XT i chose, is better than the two other cards i chose?

No doubt.

Even better than the 7950GT?

For the final time yes! 

OK, thank you very much.

I'm not too big of a fan of vista but thats good news. I really hate how svc host is using 20% of my qx6700 and it is always idling about 30-70% and starts locking up every other second, I much rather have windows xp x64 I need the 4 gigs of ram though, so  a lil pain for the 4 gigs of ram. Right now my cpu is 80% folding @ home 25% opera 14%, task mgr 14%, fraps 13% (idle) explore 7% lcd mon (g15) 7%, realplayer (4%) and  this is on a qx6700 why oh why...MondoCool

You don't need vista to use Windows Defender. I'm running it on XP.

Would this--

SAPPHIRE 100186L Radeon X1950XT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 VIVO HDCP Video Card - Retail

Be better then these two?

EVGA 256-P2-N624-AR GeForce 7900GS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 KO Video Card - Retail

EVGA 256-P2-N636-AR GeForce 7950GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail

Why don't you go for an X1950 XT instead?Wesker776

Would that be able to handle Oblivion well at 1024*768 with all settings on max and cause no lag? 

 BTW to TC, I like Zildjian better than Sabian =D

frost_mourne13

Haha..I use a Zildjian K Custom 22" Ride..But the rest of my cymbals are a mixture of the Sabian AAX and Paragoran series. :P

they both will max out oblivion at that resolutionj3ninja10

OK then, which one will be best for other demanding games then as well. I mainly only care about Oblivion. But, it would be nice to know what else these could handle.
