I can't think of any card to tell you to get. When I need something for my computer, I go to some big computer store and look for the best thing I can find.
Maybe you could look for a XFX GeForce 7900. It looks pretty good.

GeForce 7900, hands down, I have a 7900 on my laptop and IS SOOOO COOL! Just get the 7900 for the desktop, k?

P.S:The 7900 is $200 and will run oblivion on Ultra High detail.

Hot diggity dog, if I can't afford a DX10 card by the time they come back, I'm getting myself a 7900 GS.

Good news:When DX10 is released, a new driver for the 7800 and 7900 will come out. The Driver makes the 7800 or 7900 graphics cards DX10 compatible. YAY! I'll be getting that driver for sure.

I think the 7800 GTX is the only DX10 card(Not too sure), but all 7900's will be compat with DX 10. Which I am happy I chose this for my notebook, so I'll have Halo 2 Vista on the go.

If I were to buy a video card, I would save some money for this one.

This is the cheapest I could find the 7900

there is NO dx10 card, no matter what the driver is it is STILL a hardware level dx9 card.

not much, they will just look better than eachother by a little bit. Nothing too great. But when the driver somes out, I will DL it, so I can get H2V to look awesome.

Retard. IT DOES NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT make a difference. It will eventually be a DX 10 compatible card, but not as good as on a real dx10 card. Now go and suck it up and live with it and get out of this thread if you're gonna flame everyone.

P.S:A 7900 GS Go and a first-party DX 10 card won't be very different. I now condemn you to the Halo 3 forum. FOREVER!

Thank you for proving that you have no idea what you are talking about. Really, thanks you. shall we set it straight, you know, the reality here. It is NOT a dx10 compatible card, it will NOT run dx10 on a hardware level. that is something that drivers can NOT fix. It WILL run on a software level, but it will NOT be able to do any dx10 effects(hell even my mobility radeon 9000 can run dx10 on a software level(and it is(vista RC1))). Do you not understand, you will be able to run vista, but it will not be a dx10 card, all games and programs will run in dx9 mode, the same way if you run halo on a dx8 card, it wont give you the dx9 effects.
