around 300 is what i was originally planning on spending, give or take.

does anyone know when the new budget cards will be coming out? right now i'm having to use my laptop for everything because i'm without a video card.

Well it looks like my 7950 gx2 has fallen through, and I have just sold my 7600gt. So I'm looking for a new video card and was hoping for suggestions. I'd like to stay away from ATI, and am looking for the best bang for the buck. Thanks for any help!

I don't think I can do the step-up program as I bought the card used. That GTS sounds like a really nice card, and considering the price even better.

ouch, those results are a little depressing... is it the significant increase in pipelines that causes such an increase in fps? i figured with the higher amount of ram it may compete. also from the pc power cooling website they show those power supply myths, do any of these hold true?

Thanks for all the replies. Yeah I was debating on whether or not to get it, mainly because of the substantial increase in pipelines compared to even the 7950 GX2. In the end I figured the 7950 was a great deal so I figured I would go for it. Anyone have any ideas on the PC power and cooling...

i payed $300. another question i have is regarding the power supply as i am debating between these two power supplies. http://www.pcpower.com/products/viewproduct.php?show=T51ASL and http://www.pcpower.com/products/viewproduct.php?show=S75QB if anyone else has any other suggestions...

I just got my hands on a evga 7950 gx2! I can't wait till it comes in. If anyone has any ideas as to what game I should get to truly test the power of it let me know. I have a 7600gt I'll be selling if anyone is interested.

you should check out Fry's they have a "great quality" PC for under 200 last i checked, very cheap components but it works.

The G5 is only 45 last I checked. It's not just the DPI which makes a mouse better, there are different ways of achieving the 2400 DPI rating. The a4tech x7 mouse has 2500 DPI but it is definately not a better mouse IMO. As far as comfort I find my Copperhead most comfortable, but thats all opinion.

Actually when I purchased the Fatality i payed ten dollars less than what the G5 was going for. The Copperhead was the one that was over double the price of the Fatality.

I have owned the fatality, and I currently own both the G5 and the copperhead. At the moment i'm going to have to say the G5 is better only because of the cold boot issue, and the lack of updated firmware for the past few months, the cold boot issue is still unresolved. I prefer the feel of the...

I owned one, but found the pointer to be very jittery (apparently a problem with the fatality). Returned it for the G5 and haven't looked back since.

I tried it out. Didn't work as well as ad-aware or spybot, seemed to only pick up cookies.

regarding your question on plama life. most of them (modern ones) are 60000 hrs until half brightness. i have an older plasma and burn in can definately be an issue. meaning you shouldn't plan on playing any video games on it, but the newer ones are less succeptible so you shouldn't have to...
