whats your budget and what will you be doing? like gaming, video editing, etc...
if price and money are not a facter then i recommend the X1900XT
but out of the two i think the 6600gt is better
you can get more info on video card at Video Card 101

well if you dont have alot of money the 6600GT will be a good card. but if you have alot of money buy the X1900XT its the best card out there right now.

Dont go with the X1900XTX, it is a huge waste of money. Its about $60-$100 more than the X1900XT for only like a 25Mhz increase in the core clock. Just but the X1900XT and OC it to the level of a X1900XTX... I just bought this one myself:

You could even get the X1800XT and overclock it to X1900XTX

nVidia 6800GS, is what i am getting and can run BF2 on high settings with no lag (i know this cause' my friend has this card)

But also the X1900XT isn't that much more expensive, and has better OC'ing abilities... but we will find out.

If you were to get the x1600XT, that would be a much better deal. Its extremely better than the 6600GT, and supports newer technologies.

I don't know if you guys noticed, but he linked two AGP cards. I am pretty sure the x1900xtx isnt AGP. haha

 

[Jaraz]

I'd get the ATI card but if you want to go up a bit in performance and you are looking for an agp card then go for a 6800GS

[fade2green514]

get a 7800gt. lol thats what i always say because its the best performace : cost ratio if you ask me.

 

[Jet]

do you have an agp or pci-e slot?
What are your computer specs?

That would help us a lot... right now everyone is just going blahblahblah
