i have about $170-$200 to spend on a new vid card, currently using a gf2 gts. what card do you guys think i should get? also, i'm not averse to oc'ing it, though i would rather not have to change the hsf on it. thanks

9500pro!!!!

I dont know which one is best to buy but Tyan released a Tachyo G9700pro the other day which looked pretty damn cool so perhaps that will come out for the 9500s

Definatly the 9500 Pro. Its the best performing video card in ur price range, and also offers the best feautres

I would also say the 9500Pro. Saw it in a computer fair for $181. Great deal considering my Gf4 Ti4400 was $190 when I bought it a month ago and the 9500 is supposed to outperform a Ti4600 and it supports DX9

i would go with the 9500 PRO, but I think you have to flash the BIOS to OC it.

was all that fuss and actual BIOS flash?

I thought it was just a registry thing...ah well if your that set on overclocking it im sure your fears of brakage will have to be put aside :S

Exactly mine is flashed and it runs very well, in fact gonna run a bench now to test after my format.
