Those lists suck.

Agreed!

First I miss the 'list' in the first link, just a ton of drop-down options.

Where The FAQ is the X1800 & X1900 & GF7900 in that second link, looks like something from last summer! Those cards are a waste of money for the most part now.

Check the "best videocards for the money" sticky on this forum.

Good advice, and of course a little self-promotion. :twisted:

What the is that list. That site must be more than a year old. Come on, did you bother taking a look at the list before you posted it? Please take some time to do that. Those cards are pretty much cow droppings right now except for the 7800GTX. 850XT is good too. 9800PRO? X800XT? :lol:
Heres the official list. Plain and simple. Theres alot of good cards out there but you people said 5 so I'll keep it limited to that

1900XTX/XT
7900GTX
1800XT
7900GT
7800GTX

Thats not in order. Because I dont want to start a whole topic on whether the 7900GTis better than a 1800XT and vice versa. The 1900Xt/XTX are pretty much the same card except for a slight clockspeed increase.

No worries, :) Thats a better link but is also a tiny bit outdated. That obviously came out before the 1900XT/XTX, 7900GTX, and 7900GT. Those 3 would replace the 7800gt, 1800xt, and GTX on that list.
