I am building a computer and I cannot decide which graphics card to get. So far it looks like everything is pointing towards the geforce over radeon. I was originally looking at getting an ati radeon x1900 xtx, but pushed more towards the geforce 7900 gtx. Then, I have also been reading about the new DirectX 10 coming out soon. I need a graphics card so I am not sure whether to get a decent cheaper card for now and then buy later or just buy a good one now. I was even debating getting a good graphics card now and then buying a good graphics card later that supports DirectX 10 (Would they be campatible and work together?) What should I get? I dont mind getting a good graphics card right now, if it is worth it. I will have the asus m2n32-sli deluxe motherboard running an AMD 4600 processor. I am planning on doing serious film editing and possible gaming.

i dont know when dixect 10 wil come out my bet is end of this year plus it will be on high end video like 400-600 range.. if you did most of video editing you will use cpu more that video card... i use to diod video editing on radeon 9550 just need good cpu like amd 4600 or that newer intel conore 2 duo that serious spank amd rear...if you need to buy video card now i will go woth 7900gs it has good gaming power plus it is sli card so you can add one more card to get more power..just make sure it has 256 bus bit and more that 256 memory ram and maybe more that 16 pixel pipes you can look it up on newegg.com in my opinon one of very best sites ever on internet now

I would recommend ATI Radeon x1900 xtx, its what I'm using and I love it. I suppose the GeForce 7900 gtx is great as well, but I'm a loyal ATI guy.

Geforce 7900 GTX is the choice

In my experience, any video/graphics card made by ATI has been very good for the amount of money I've paid when I rebuilt my computer the last few times.
