can you give me an advise which card to buy?
i am from germany, and the prices here can not even closely compete with US prices, so please take this into account.
i am not sure whether i should rather take a x1950xt or a 8800gts.
in the sticky guide it says the 8800gts is a much better card which costs only slightly more (+20% in this guide - from february).
i have an offer for the x1950xt for 150€, i.e. about 205$. the added cooler is of ultimatively bad quality and people complain because it is loud and the chip gets insanely hot, hence, crashes a lot. the good thing is, i have a water cooling system - so this is not an issue for me.
on the other hand, the cheapest 8800gts is 250€ which is roughly 340$, i.e. an increase of 66% in price!
is the 8800gts worth the extra money?
