What PCI express card to get?

[Vorkapitan]

Hi All,

I am upgrading my computer system and want to know what is the best PCI Express card to get for the $$. Currently am using ATI Raedon 9800 Pro 128 mg which I liked very much.(somewhat biased toward ATI)

I am looking for a price range between $200 and $350.

I would like for only objective ideas based on knowledge.

Thanks All for any help you can provide. :up:

Either the X1950XTX or perhaps the older X1900XTX / XT. You could also get the cheap X1900GTO. The old XTX and XT series make more noise and grows hotter, but their picture quality is what you come to expect from your Radeon. I believe ATI cards are superior with image quality, but mileage vary. It is however especially noticeable in Silent Hunter III.
