Reply: (edit)How much is your budget? (if your looking to buy one)
The best graphics cards available atm are the Radeon X800 series and the Nvidia Geforce FX 6800 series.

Reply: (edit)Yep, though they will set you back a pretty penny. If you're on a budget go for the Radeon 9800xt. Some people are like Slinkies™, not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...

Reply: (edit)*The best video card for gaming* is indeed the X800 XTPE. Or if you rather go nvidia then go for the 6800 Ultra. Abit IS7 865PE
Pentium 4 2.6ghz @ 3.2ghz
eVGA GeForce FX 5900 SE

Reply: (edit)Your probably taking a chance with an RMA on that one,maybe not.I would probably consider this one before a re-furb. though. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-102-369&depa=0 The ram on this card looks a little iffy though.There is one customer review there saying that he called newegg and confirmed that it is indeed a 9800pro I just got this card a few day's ago and it's the best oc'er card i ever owned.so far i've got it up to 465/875 without a glitch.Also the colors look so much more vibrant with this Gainward card than with my eVGA 5900SE. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-128-185&depa=0

Reply: (edit)That refurbished 9800 Pro is more like a 9500 Pro taking steroids. Don't buy that, that 9800 Pro is 128 bit. Don't get the Fx5900 series, they are awesome gfx cards but if you can get a 9800 Pro for around the same price then its a stupid move. Wheres Zero Cool when you need em.. Abit IS7 865PE

Reply: (edit)To unreal and quikstop I never said to buy the 5900.I said i got one uh 2 of them and i like them.But while were on the subject.I would'nt buy another ati card again,IMO there nothing but problems after problems with catalyst driver issues.
