Which card do you guy's recomend ?

[Etai]

I am looking at upgrading my graphics card. At the moment I have a Radeon X300 SE. My PC is a P4 3ghz with HT technology and it has 1024mb of RAM.
I was thinking of getting the SapphireX800GTO2. Bearing in mind that that card needs tweaking, and I would like the card to have good video capabilities as well, is there a better card anyone can recommend for a similar price ?

I'd go X800 GTO2 over a 6800 GS for sure, the X800 GTO2 is pretty much guaranteed a 16-pipeline unlock with a BIOS.

How much into video are you? If you're *really* into video and wouldn't mind sacrificing some game performance, the X1600 PRO might be a good choice, paired with the new AVIVO drivers the new x1x00 cards really speed up encoding performance and improve video quality of DVD playback.

Best of both worlds would be to splurge for an X1800 XL...
