I am thinking to buy a "Next Gen Gaming"video card (I am still using a Geforce 3 TI) before summer. However, when I am doing reseach on video cards today, I find the prices of video cards are "somewhat" expensive.
(all prices are in Canadian dollars and they are OEM)
New MSI Geforce FX5700 128MB is 210, 256MB is 254.
FX5950 256MB is 550. (!?!?) <- this is what i want
ATI 9600XT 256MB is 245, 9800XT 256MB is 638. (?!?!)
XBOX is 199...
And the brand new "God-like" Geforce 6800 ultra is 499US...
What is going on here? A good video card is more expensive than a XBOX...
Should I invest a 500 dollars vidoe card? or just buy a XBOX instead?
