Hello,
in the past this question was a 'no-brainer' because the AMD/ATI Cards were much slower then the nVidia. But now with the new ATI Drivers the question is => which card is 'the best' choice in this range:
The 'old' ones:
Or the 'new' ones:
(Did I overlook a chip/card in that range?)
Whats your opinion? Mine is, that the 'old ones' (X1950/7900) seems to be the better choice but the question for me is, is the X1950 really a good choice now with the new drivers for a 'linux gamer'?

The 'old' ones:
- Radeon X1950 Series (GT and PRO are in this price range (at least here))
- nVidia 7900 Series (GS and if you find a GT)
Or the 'new' ones:
- Radeon X2600 Series
- nVidia 8600GT (The GTS costs here around 140? ~190 US$)
