I'm putting together a PC which is mostly for gaming.(BF2142 at the moment)
I intend to use this MoBo
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage?MBB-P35655

with either

a Sapphire X1950 pro OR a Novatech 8600GT

I want run games at a decent fps under Vista.
Anybody got experience of these or better options around the £120 mark

you can find the ati x1950 xt for this price now if you look around which is a brilliant card

i can vouch for the 1950xt
the cooler can be quite annoying, summer n all

Is the 1950XT DX10 compatible?

I've checked on the ATI site but it doesn't leap out out you!

not that it matters considering the 8600gt wont do brilliant on dx10 games anyways
