Are you joking? The 7950GTX is the best DX9 card out there at the mo and the 7600GT is a High Mid Range card. I sometimes find that researching a topic is good it gives you quite a bit of knowledge. Now when I was building my computer I went through planning for 5 days researching all the parts will they work will they fit are they a good bang for buck. At the card range I was looking at the 7600GT was same pricing as a X1600 even though it totally creamed it in tests. If you ever have any questions on cards just google 7600GT vs X1600 and you'll come up with comparisons none of these tests work if you get an artifact card such as the 9250. EG 9250 vs 7600GT I highly doubt you would get any results I beleive the 9250 was a good card.... 2 or 3 possibly even 4 years ago. 7600GT is highly reccomended and will play all modern games at a fairly high setting and SH3 at all high full AA and still give you some good performance.

nVidia has the upper hand over ATI in that regard, since most of today's top games are designed with the nVidia card in mind (remember the advertisement: "The way it's meant to be played")

Now, in regard to SH3, please kind in mind that no matter what card you have, even on a super ninja computer, you'll still get poor performance from time to time... it's just wasn't written robustly enough to avoid those strange hickups when in high performance demand situations, even if you're computer can run it blazingly fast on all other situations (Specialy if you mod it)

I never got any problems on my PC running all full with GWX.... HL2 was built with ATI :D sorry I just loved that game far too much. Anyway ATI is merged with AMD now so.... Carry on. Im personally an AMD/ATI guy but my current system is an AMD/Nvidia shoulda got a C2D but like I said I have a strong AMD BIAS. Anyway with my 7600GT its giving me quite a BIAS to the green team. Oh and for the person who started the post I don't know if you read my other one throughly. I had a 9600XT thats 256mb (different from standard 9600) it pretty much beats the 9250. I upgraded that to a 7600GT. Sorry to say but buying a 9250 would be a giant mistake. No seriously a very very large mistake. The numbers dont always mean everything I think a 6800GS can beat a 7300 (both Nvidia) and the 9250 is ATI so you definately cant compare numbers there but you can most of the time eg 7600GT>6800GS>6600GT>X700>9600XT>9250

Trust me the 9250 is way wat down the ladder.

Whoops, moved to wrong forum. Please move thread to General Topics.

The biggest disadvantage of the 9250 is that it doesn´t support Pixel Shader 2.0, so SH4 and some other games won´t work at all.

But - again - it matters if you want a PCI or PCI-E video card.

Completely different things that are in no way related
