The more I'm looking at stock levels of the X1950XT the more it's dissapearing!!!! I'm really praying that scan get stock on the Power color XTs again, or I'm gonna have nowhere to buy one!

Save some cash and just get a pro. A pro will play pretty much any DX9 game fine plus u can stick £20-30 into your pocket (on into a pub ) Alternatively have a look on ebay, people are getting rid of DX9 cards for stupid money atm

There's someone on eBay that's selling both 256 and 512Mb versions, but not sure how trustworthy they are...

Took your suggestion, well, both of them; I ordered the X1950 Pro @ £92 and then went out last night LOL

Cost doesnt always denote 'budget'. Look at the Hiper 580W......Definitely a budget PSU in terms of performance but not price.

ROFL
What a ridiculous comment. Is a crappy ferrari like a Mondial budget? NO.

If you're trying to cool it to 60 at load then of course it's loud. It's happy at 70-80 and then it's quiet. Don't use rivatuner, let the fan's own software do the work.

Think a tiny bit if you can.
Of course cost is a factor.....but its not the be all and end all.

Take a top of the range Merc and a bottom of the range Merc.
Although still expensive, the bottom range one is the 'budget' model as its the lowest in the range.

Just because something is expensive doesn't mean it cant be the budget one! Comparison????????

LOL and how does that make an expensive but cr@p PSU a budget one.
I think you'd best work out what you're trying to say before posting it!

I agree with Blitzen. The term 'budget' can be applied to quality as well, if that's what the audience understand, especially as he qualified it with 'in terms of performance'. It's as if he were saying "this PSU performs as well as PSUs that are using the cheapest of designs/components/build quality, aka budget PSUs".

You seem to be the only one confused........i wonder why

[Smudger]

Going back to availablility, I've been told by eclipse that the XT is out of stock but they are expecting some more in early next week. Saying that, eBuyer said they were getting more in at the end of last week, then told me it had been discontinued.

Looks like the only one available is the HIS Turbo one, but that's getting into 8800 territory, price-wise.

Oh yeah. The dictionary's wrong, Blitzen's right because 1 person agrees with him.
You're not the sharpest tool in the box, evidently.

Flame away. (As usual)

Just because i couldnt make the comparison any simpler for someone like yourself to understand thats not my fault!

With the amount of b0llocks you speak, have you considered going into politics?

Swear away.....im not getting into this anymore.
If you have ANY valid points EVER then try to construct them rather than just posting 'LOL' or 'Swearing' because it really does show you up for what you are.
