I need advice on choosing the best video/graphics card!

I currently have the NVIDIA GeForce 9500GS on my 64-bit quad core system running windows vista and I wanted to know which of the following is best for its price to upgrade to:





1) EVGA e-GeForce 8800GT 512MB PCI-Express Video Card ($149.99 [save $100]) http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10095590%26amp;catid=10524%26amp;logon=%26amp;langid=EN





2) BFG GeForce 9600GT 512MB PCI-E Video Card ($129.99 [save $120]) http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10099587%26amp;catid=10524%26amp;logon=%26amp;langid=EN





3) XFX GeForce 8800 GT 512MB PCI-Express Video Card - Alpha Dog Edition ($149.99 [save $50]) http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10096936%26amp;catid=10524%26amp;logon=%26amp;langid=EN





These are the hot offers currently at futureshop (bestbuy has none at the moment) and I am looking for one which will give me the best performance for its price. Here is my pc if this helps at all: http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10107750%26amp;catid=10607%26amp;logon=%26amp;langid=EN





PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE.. IT IS VERY MUCH APPERICIATED!I need advice on choosing the best video/graphics card!
i think there all pretty cool i would buy the second one (Y)I need advice on choosing the best video/graphics card!
go for #1 definitely. brand-wise it's tied with XFX in quality, so the rebate is the only thing going for it. card-wise, the 8800GT is just better. the 9xxx series cards are really just rebranded 8800GT's. the GT model is so recent, i'm suprised it was still in the 8 series when it came out.





haha, canada eh? j/k. it's nice place. very clean :P





EDIT





no, the 8800 GT is definitely faster than the 9600. just click the link...
9600gts, thats the most powerful or one of them. get it in sli too
what are you going to be doing on the comp?
Before you buy a video card on futureshop you should check out www.tigerdirect.com. I just checked for you and they have 184 PCI-Express video cards ranging from 128 MB to 1GB+. Tigerdirect is a good company and they have pretty good valued and high quality products. Here is a link to their PCI-Express video cards: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/鈥?/a> and you should take a look at the





(1) BFG GeForce 8800 GT OC2 Video Card - 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, Video Card for $139.99





or the





(2) EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ Video Card - 512MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, HDMI Support, VGA Support -this video card is $199.99





If you are willing to spend $200 you should really look into the EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ it is a great HD gaming card
