 | Re: Bang-for-buck GPU choices
Thats a list, but what does it mean, are those the brands you interested in and the cars you looking to buy, outta all of the the sapphire x1600XT is you best bet, can someone correct me if im wrong, thats just an educated gess, the 7600GS is alright but the x1600 is going to be a little better with the XT model. The x1650 pro is alright say you went with the XTX or XT model of that, it would be good, but i think you made this lis by prices.

| Re: Bang-for-buck GPU choices Can you get a 7900GS for that much? The cheapest one in the UK is £110 ish so you should be able too.

| Re: Bang-for-buck GPU choices I gave the price in $ just for reference, because prices here are different anyways. The list is based on the cards the store has to offer, and its like, the cheapest store here. The choice has been made due to cash limit, its either the PowerColor x1650 Pro or a Sapphire x1600XT. Thanks for your help P.S. I do not live in the US
