[RyanAndrew88]

Sounds pretty good to me. Almost makes me jealous

could u possibly spend a bit extra and get an 8800gts? the 1950 is very good but the 8800 is worth the money if you can afford it was it out performs the 1950 and its got dx10

 

[Bradan]

id rather wait until atleast 3 dx10 games I WANT come out.. then i will likely get a 2X as good card as the 8800 gts...

1950 seems to be a pretty good deal

suggest cards that are best bang/buck please!! look on directcanada for me if youre bored
