[papabeartb]

Looking at these two cards and I cant make up my mind,geforce 7900GS OC or 8600GTXXX,found Agreat deal on both under $100,any one got A suggestion for a newbie on this one ? Any help would be appreciated.

Honestly, neither. For $100 you could get an 8800GS that offers twice the performance.

evga is nicer with a variable speed fan (quieter), but xfx comes with COD4 for $100 shipped AR.

Choosing between your two, the 8600GT xxx would be better for todays games than a 7900GS. But they need to be $50ish not $100 to be a good deal.
