Hi, I am looking to replace my now laughable Vanilla Geforce 6600 with a good mid-range card. At first my shining hope seemed to be an 8600 gts since i cant fit an 8800GTs in my Gateway Case. But recent benchmarks seem to put 8600 gts behind 7950 GT and x1950 PRO http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?cid=3&id=2231
So the question is, should i buy a 7950 GT or x1950 over the gts? Will DX9 actually be supported for another 2 years? Also, how will they perform in Crysis and Halo 2 Vista? Should i wait for RV630/610 Any ideas would be great.
