Blasphemy!

Voodoo2 might be hard to beat.

Also, NVidia GeForce 295GTX is probably the highest performance card out at the moment.

I would actually recommend the nVidia 275 over the 295. And the newest ATi is pretty damn sweet. And they are both comparable to each other in just about every way and are both in at the same price point of $250 or less.

Yeah, but speaking of raw performance (and forgetting about CF and SLi framerate issues) the 295 is the most powerful.

I agree, the 3870 is still a damn good card, and the high-end cards are ridiculously priced.

194 dollars for a GTS250, a 4850 or 4870 if you fork in a little extra... Graphic cards have gotten insanely cheap. Prices been plummeting for the last few years, no idea which rock you've been under!  :wtf:

Those are mid-high. I'm talking about 295s for 700$, and 4870X2s for 550$ (Cdn)

A 295 can be had for just over $500, not $700.  Around $500 has been the supreme card price for a while, at least for a vanilla version.  Sure you can pay more for a super optimized overclocked liquid cooled make your eggs version, but you don't have to.

Oh my bad.  Wait though, I thought Canadian currency was stronger than the US dollar right now.  Or is it just cause no one sells/ships that stuff in Canada?

I have an exchange rate calculator running on my machine right now, and according to it, 1 Canadian dollar is worth approximately 82 cents.  :nod:
