Stopped PC gaming...

"when some one talks about the cost try to build a PC with a blue ray Drive that can function properly as a media center on a 50 " or better monitor. Blue ray burner is $500 or more alone" That's only if you care about Blu-Ray. I'd say the majority of gamers don't, which is why PS3 sales...

Are you happy with your system?

I got very lucky with mine. I work at Circuit City, and they had the computer sitting on a shelf labelled as "defective." At CC, if someone takes a computer home, takes a sticker halfway off the front, and then brings it back, it can be labelled "DEF." In this case, it was "defective" because it...

Stopped PC gaming...

I tend to look at it this way: A console's lifespan seems to get shorter and shorter, yet they get more and more expensive with each generation, to the point where a PS3 will cost you $600 or $700 dollars with a few peripherals. You could build a pretty nice PC for that amount of money...

Radeon 1950 pro or 7600 GT

I'm smoking exactly the same thing that you was smoking when you said that the X1950PRO wasn't faster than the 7900GT. I did not in any fashion say the x1950 was not faster than the 7900GT. I said it wasn't considerably faster. There is a difference. It all really boils down to what...

Radeon 1950 pro or 7600 GT

Lol dude, I never once said anything about a 7900GS. What the hell are you smokin' on? My original point was that I didn't think an x1950PRO was considerably faster than a 7900GT. GT, not GS. I even admitted the 1950 was a faster card. I just didn't think it was leaps and bounds faster than a...

Radeon 1950 pro or 7600 GT

Sitting here at work, after doing some more research, the cheapest 1950xtx I found was the Powercolor version of the card for $259. The 1950xtx, that is the card you mentioned, right? Well... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a...4130082&ATT=14-130-082&CMP=OTC-17exta6 On the same site...

Radeon 1950 pro or 7600 GT

Yep, I said speed. DX10 info is nice, but I don't have any DX10 games yet (and neither do you). That is because they're not available as of yet. I'm concerned with the games I currently have, not the ones I don't. I bought the 7950GT OC for two reasons: at $199, it was the best card I found for...

Radeon 1950 pro or 7600 GT

Unfortunately I'd have to completely agree with the IQ statement. Honestly (and I don't think it's my imagination) my x1300 256 looked better with superior HDR mapping than my 7950GT (all things relative settings-wise), which is a bit puzzling considering the difference in the price and...

Radeon 1950 pro or 7600 GT

First, I've researched plenty between the cards, and what I saw was that the various benches showed that as a whole the 1950 beats the 7900 in some games, and the 7900 beats the 1950 in others. Both cards are close, and I think it's BS misnformation to tell someone that a 1950PRO is...

"If you PSU can handle it, go for the X1950Pro, it's considerably faster than the 7600GT (and 7900GT). " Bzzzzt. Wrong-o. A 1950PRO is not "considerably" faster than a 7900GT. In all honesty, they are almost identical in performance, and in fact if the OP were to play any games that use...
