518764 2007-01-24 02:04:00 I am hoping to spend some tax return money for a new video card. :D I can spend about $200, maybe more if the price is worth the performance, but not too much more. I am looking at this: www.newegg.com
The only complaint I have seen is the fan noise, so I plan on getting another fan for it if it is not too hard to do, is this a good video card for the price?

518765 2007-01-24 02:49:00 Have you noticed that this is a NZ based forum? meaning US prices are not relevant to us...

BUT the X1950XT is a very good card

518767 2007-01-24 21:59:00 Yeah, I noticed about the $. And I have no idea what VIVO is. haybailz17 (11016)

The ATI do have noisy fans, being in USA, you will have a glut of cards to choose from for that money. If you buy that card, you will spend a further $30-$50 getting a better cooling fan!

www.newegg.com

is a quieter card, has VIVO, twice the RAM & cheaper with the rebate
