hey guys, I've been away from the boards for a while...and haven't been keeping up with the latest...
what's the best video card that I can get for about $100--should I wait--is there a new line of video cards coming out soon that will drive down prices on older cards?
Any advice would be great! Thanks!

thanks--you're right--the 9500 is around $150...

is the 9500 the lowest priced DX9 card? anything decent for $50 cheaper?

uh yes i think so, or maybe those new 4800TI SE or whatever, but those can be pricy, im not too sure (P.S. i dont have money for these cards) but look at a 128mb version
http://www.sapphiretech.com/vga/9500.asp
was 165, but its 15 more than i said but its good enough

I would wait about a month if i were you as the 9600 is out soon.(about now but takein a bit longer in other countries). #Then the price of the 9500 will go down and you will get a better card (the 9500 pro) for a cheaper price:thumb:

yeah 9500 is better than 9600 which cracks me up, why not make it the 9400P then LoL (and 9500 is cheaper!)

Yep 9500 pro is cheaper than the 9600 and a better card. But soon for the same price as the 9500 pro was u might be able to get a 9700 so i'm holding on:rolleyes:

about a month you say when these new cards come out? Hmmm...
So when they do come out, where do you guys buy from? Online or in-store?
