EVGA 7600GS... I would wait until the HD2600 is tested better before deciding. As for crysis performance, I wouldn't expect the GF8600 to be all that great in Crysis, but I wouldn't expect the HD2600 to be much better. IMO the X1950XT is much more attractive...

of gaming on that 30" panel I would suggest you go with at least an X1950Pro and preferably the much rarer AGP X1950XT. The HD2600 though would be my recommendation (over even the X1950XT) if you are focusing mainly on 2D and light 3D, the benefits outweigh...

X1950XT vs HD2600. Hi I want to upgrade my current old system AMD Athlon64 3000+ Asus K8V-X Motherboard ATI Radeon 9550 1 GB DDR 400Mhz I want to buy a new GPU. The motherboard has AGP 8x interface. I saw the shortlist at and was going to go for Radeon X1950...

on what you're expecting out of the HD2600 or GF8600, it's likely that the X1950XT will leave them in the dust in 90% of the games to come. If you're upgrading again within a year or so, you might want to get the X1950XT now, and then upgrade again when...

X1950XT for now and then buy the 65nm GF8/9 or HD2K card later once they are needed and DX10 games are truely out. The GF8600 (likely like the HD2600) won't be playing DX10 games with any amazing abilities, so for when you did want to play a DX10 title,...

Look forward to advice, thanks! If you want to watch movies then get the X1950XT. If you're a real gamer, then 8800GTS, plain and simple. Both cards are good. if you go for the ATi get the sapphire version. Are you saying X1950XT is better for movies,...

matter), especially since the 8600GTS ($160) can't dream to outperform the X1950 Pro ($135). The X1950 Pro uses a different GPU than the X1950XT, but in layman terms the X1950XT is plain faster (And by a fair amount), not only that but the X1950XT is simply...

X1950XT or 8600GTS. I'm sorry if this question repeats other threads; I've looked around and couldn't see a definitive answer. My choices: Connect3D Radeon X1950XT (£147) BFG 8600GTS OC 256MB (£141) The X1950XT apparently runs better on DX9 games,...

HD2900PRO instead o XT so we'll go on that asumption for my answer; No one knows, but alot of guesses. Sofar the educated guesses say the halfway point between the XTs and the HD2600 series. So 240 shaders, memory size would likely be variable like now,...
