You should look at the PCIE x1650xt. It's actually a major improvement over the x1600, even outperforming the 7600GT.

I got about 4000 in 3Dmark05 with an x1600. I get about 7500 with the x1650xt. They're below $150 as well.

IT has to be the XT version, though. The PRO version is just a rehash of an older chip.

I HAVE MADE MY DECISION!

I am getting BFG 7950! It is l33t and all that good stuff!

Also, my dad got the fan to fit back on the video card and it dose not spin at all lol! It is exactly how it is suppsted to be but not moving ROFL!

Ugh... The BFG 7950 is a waste of money. As far as I know the drivers cannot fully utilize it yet and neither can any current processors. Get a single card.

I'm pretty sure he means the 7950GT, which is a single card- with a single GPU. The GX2 versions are the ones with dual GPUs onboard.

Sorry, I haven't looked at the latest tech for a while. Last time I checked "7950" only referred to the SLi card.
