Need video card advice

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

I'm finally ready to buy a new video card and I need help picking out the right one. The games I want to play are Supreme Commander and C&C Tiberium Wars. My budget is $200 (Canadian). Here are the contenders:

-EVGA E-GEFORCE 7900 GS KO 256mb - $176.62
-Sapphire Radeon X1950GT 256mb - $194.99
-Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro 256mb - $199.99

Which one gives the best bang for the buck, or is there something better elsewhere? I was also wondering if there would be any issues with my power supply.

Thanks for any help.

Wait for midrange dx10 cards. better performance, dx10 compatibility, and by then these cards will have dropped in price, so you can make a better choice.

true
sometimes patience is a virtue

I also have a quick video card question for Supreme Commander.

My system consists of a P4c 3.4 @ 3.74GHz , 1.5GB PC3200, but I'm using a ATI 9600se 128MB . I just bought SupCom and my performance is awful. I was wondering if I should sink my $$$ into a 7600GT. I'm really just trying to figure out if spending $150 is going to make my game play smooth, thats all I'm really looking for. If anyone has a similar setup and has SupCom running smooth please let me know.

Thanks,

Weddie
