Reputation: 539   Rep Power: 20 | The_YongGrand, I've already replied you at my blog. Either 8600GT or HD2600XT would do much better than the 7300GT. on the other hand, I found the X1950GT to be much faster than the 2 above. If you like framerates, I see no wrong going X1950GT path.

 I'll see about getting the HD2600XT - the price is nice. There are lots of reviews about the 8600GT not really up to the task, especially one of the reviewers mentioned that it's something like a 7600GT.  But you did really give that xPertvision X2600XT a zero!

Reputation: 2090 Rep Power: 38 | No point going for 8500/8600 just because it is DX10 capable, they are simply too weak to run DX10 games. Get the 7900/7950/X1950.

I'm not planning to run any DX10 games - or at least not tomorrow. The only thing is some more juice for Unreal3-based games and better framerates for TF2.
