The computer that I currently have is just....(no words for it, since its so bad) Im building a computer from newegg.com but i wanted to know which graphic cards are better.

Or any that you recommend that has 512 MB and is compatible with PCI 16x

I PLAN ON GETTING TWO FOR THIS BOARD :D http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131028
 
You've posted cards from a huge array of budgets, it might help if you could narrow down what you're looking for. Don't be too concerned with 512MB of VRam. Sure it's nice on high end cards, but on cheaper cards it will never be effectively utalised. Let's take a look at these cards:

Vastly overpriced, and no better than the 256MB version. At this price you should look at a 7600GT.

With the 7950GT at a lower price, this card is also unapealing.

Outdated, and again vastly overpriced. The worst card of the lot, IMO.

A far stronger contender, but i'd prefer the card below due to it's cheaper price point

The best of the five. A factory OC and more importantly lower price give it the advantage against #4.

Sapphire Radeon X1900XTX: $309.99 Superior performance to any of the cards you've listed, and still cheaper than #4. Also gives you the ability to use AA and HDR at the same time, something the nVidia cards lack. Assuming you want to spend $300, that is.
 
get the cheapest 7950gt you can find, thats what i say. either that or a 7900gtx. the gtx would in fact be better, yet more expensive.
however i do agree with ceewi1 that the x1900xtx is a better card... offers around the same amount of performance as a 7900gtx, but supports ATI technologies like avivo video converter and simultaneous fsaa and hdr. definitely makes a difference in oblivion. wish i had a crossfire rig for that game lol...
 
Even save a bit and get an X1900GT 256MB version with arctic accellero cooling on it.. most games don't utilize 512mb memory unless you run games over the res. of 1600x1200..

if you pay $300 or over you're going to want to play it at least 1280x1024.. which is the max res for most LCDs...
not to mention, Quake 4 and COD2 use (and probably a couple others like oblivion, depending on distances set for trees and grass), along with other games that will come out within the next year, more than 256mb of video memory. if you've got enough system memory, it'll handle it... but it will handle it much better with 512mb of video memory.
 
get the X1900XTX that ceewi listed,its definitely better with the option to have HDR and FSAA on at the same time(nvidia cards cant do this yet) and its around the same price point.
 
kk

Will I be able to connect two X1900XTX? :P or will 1 be enough.


The 1 2 3 are also out of the picture. lol.


Is it better that the Nvidia chipset that the ones I posted?
 
k

In that case. I will buy one, and if I ever have extra money :P and I need more power Ill buy another one. Thanks everyone. :)

All I need now is an Operating System, which is very expensive :(

Just make sure that when you want to buy another X1900XTX that you have a crossfire motherboard and a strong enough PSU and make sure at least one of your cards says crossfire ready.

Thank you ckfordy that will really be helpful if I buy one. I never thought that I would need a special motherboard for two of those. lol. And that reminds me of the motherboard (so im going to post there, lol)
 
Just so you know,you need a crossfire mobo for ati cards i believe and that 1 of the X1900's are crossfire edition,which seem to be more expensive.
