Video Card Vs.

Okay, I'm looking for a new video card. These two are in my price range, which would you recomend.

Sapphire Radeon X800 GT 128MB PCI-E w/ TV-Out, DVI

MSI NX6600GT-TD128E Geforce 6600GT 128MB DDR3 w/ TV-Out, DVI

Thanks.

Personally, I would choose the X800 GT, I've heard some very good things about it.

I've changed my mind :P

now it is between the

Sapphire Radeon X700 Pro 256MB GDDR3 PCI-E w/ TV-Out, DVI ($175 CAD)

and

Sapphire Radeon X800 GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI-E w/ TV-Out, DVI ($205 CAD)

I prefer the cheaper one cause it's well...cheaper. But I want some opinions. I want to buy a card for under $200 from here LINK

The price difference of course dicates the performance difference here. If you don't mind spending another $30, go with the X800, if not go with the X700.

For such a small difference in price, I would go with the 800. In the long run, you'd be happier with it.
