I'm looking for a new video card to run on an Asus P5B Deluxe. Don't want SLI or Crossfire as it cost to much for 2 video cards. Looking to spend around $350 CDN (300 US). I've heard the ATI 1900XT is good but can't seem to find any in the Mississauga-Hamilton area (Canada).

What do you recommend of the following based on best performace for the buck? All range from $300-360.

GF 7900GS
GF 7900GT
GF 7900GT KO
GF 7900GTO
GF 7950GT
ATI 1900GT
ATI 1950Pro
ATI 1950XT

Yeah, I just picked up a 7900 GS for $200. It's a great card! And quiet! All other video cards I've ever owned have needed alternative cooling due to the noise from the stock heatsinks, but not this one. Cool and quiet, $200 well spent I say.
