get nvidia with ati it's allways trouble with new games needing new drivers because the older drivers causes gfx bugs.

6600gt. i know its a bit more money than either of these, but dude, it is worth it.... and not because im a fanboy either. i was an ati user for the longest time, went from the rage to the 8500 to the 9700pro to the 6600gt.
ill just say that this card was the biggest jump in performance and features ive ever seen. especially considering i layed down over 300 bucks for my 9700. anyways you get shader 3.0, better drivers than catalyst crap(which ive used for yrs), games with more support for nvidia features, ect ect.
i got mine for 160 bucks at zipzoomfly and the best money i ever spent. just try to come up with the extra cash, its worth it.

actually theres some refurbed ones at newegg for 130, and a new leadtek for 150. good deals.

i'm an ati fanboy, but if i had to choose between these two i would definatly go for the nvidia 6600. The X300 is not in the same league, the equivalent to the nvidia 6600 would be the ati x700, the x300 must be much cheaper as the 6600.

Here are some benchies to compare all cards Smile

If you're going to buy a new comp, do yourself a favour and spend an extra $100-200 and get a good graphics card.

I vote ATI btw, mostly because they're a Canadian company Very Happy
