Those cards are really expensive, for games such as sim and older ones, a 7600GT is overkill, and I don't see the point in getting the X1950pro, it runs really hot and slower than its nvidia equivalent.

Click to expand...

Depends on the model elite, anyway is kinda true they get hot i won't lie in that part, the reason why i offered he/she the nvidia 7900gs from XFX is that only differs on 40$ from a nvidia 7600 GT.

With the 7900GS he/she shouldn't have to worry too much about upgrading later unless he/she wants direct10.

Yeah, I think the 7 series is the way to go at the moment. Since he/she said "im not a big gamer... the most adv game i play on pc is bsically civcity rome.. sims.. that kinda stuff... " I think the best card for he/she is the 7900.

Come on, you dont need a 7900 to play those games.

an X300 will handle those fine, as well with windows Vista.
