Thanks

I would go with this one 7950GT 256MB

but if you can stretch your budget more I would go with the 512MB version

LOL jack if he could extend his budget he would be a lot better getting the 8800gts than that 512mb 7950, anyway either way a 8600gts or a 7950 or a x1950 from ati

Theres very few games that support DX10 that are out. The 7950 is still a good card. Why would you want to waste money on a DX10 card now when you can get a better one when the games actually start coming out.

It doesn't matter if there are DX10 games or not, the 8800 gts beats the crap out of the 7950

So you guys think its worth it to get a nicer 256mb rather than one of the lower end 512mb cards?

I would value processing power over memory, I would rather get a high end high performance 256MB card then a budget 512MB one.
