Hi, can someone advise which graphic card can satisify my requirement as shown below:

1.) DVI output supporting 1680 x 1050 (for 22" display)
2.) Dual output
3.) Graphic creation, photo rendering & video editing applications (multimedia)
4.) Budget around USD200

Thanks!

Saphire Radeon X1950XT

This card is a great card - It practically owns all Nvidia 7 series cards,
(with the exception of the 400$ 7950GX2)

Although I would wait a month or two for the mid-range 8XXX to come out...

I agree with deusex the X1950XT is the best deal:

If that's all you're doing, and no gaming, then The X1600 would be fine for less;

and for only a couple of buck more ($2), a little more power in the X1650;

While the X1300 and GF7300 are a little cheaper (like $10-20), the extra power comes in handy for any 3D work, and the X16xx series likely holds up better for a Vista future.

ye, like grape said the x1600 will do great although any x1000 card will do fine.

Why?

here's a great link for you to compare the cards' potentials

just ignore the price, they're mostly inaccurate and not up-to-date

That list is just crap opinions pooled into a tool, by a bunch of tools.

Explain this comparison;
http://www.gpureview.com/show_card [...] &card2=466

So the GF7600GT gets better overall rating than the X1950Pro, better performance rating (despite their posting of greatly different 3Dmark scores favouring the X1950, and equal features rating (despite not having some of the features available on the X1950P).

And then in the mobility realm;
http://www.gpureview.com/show_card [...] &card2=457

The overall rating favours the GFGO7700 over the MRX1700 (as it should be), but the rest contradicts this with the X1700 getting a 10 for performance ( G7700 gets 9.8 ) when we know the performance favours the GF7700, and the GF7700 gets the feature nod while in fact the X1700 has more features available to it. Those numbers are pulled out of someone's sphincter it appears. More fan/fanboi feedback than solid info. Interesting tool, but not empirical data other than the specs.

Seriously I wouldn't use it for anything more than a quick spec check, and even then the Adrian Rojak Pot (ARP) list is better.
