Ok, so I've pre-ordered an E6600 Conroe and I'm looking at video cards now.
I am down to either:
7950GX2
or
X1900XT
I know the Gx2 will perform better than the 1900xt but is it really worth the extra $220 or so?
Also, while the Gx2 will fit any PCIe slot, not needing SLI, I would think the ATI might work better in most of the mobo's for the Conroe.
The games I play are typically:
Battlefield 2
CoD2
Age of Empires
Everquest
and will be getting NWN2
I'd appreciate any advice or recommendations.
Additionally , which brands of each card do you suggest? I tried to find a review that compared the brands of each card and I can't find one.
