He_man: No, Geforces can't do HDR and AA at the same time
s3a: That's correct, and yes, that was my point, and only 256MB will ever be needed anyway. The best looking games out there are FEAR and Oblivion really, but plenty others like
Farcry, Quake 4 and even UT2004 (that's very resource polite and will run well on your X600) have stunning looks when turned up!
sukhvail: the nvidias are faster, but for what? Higher resolutions being able to be played? All that earns you is a better image quality, and ATi cards have a better image quality for the same resolution anyway!
s3a: I'M NOT A FANBOY! If you ask me for a card in a certain midrange price range, the 7600GT wins hands down, but I just choose * recommend ATI for superior image quality, everybody knows that, even nVidia supporters.
sukhvail: No the X1600 Pro can only match the X800GT and the X1600XT can only match the X800XT, not the X850XT.
That link to the X850XT is a PHENOMENAL DEAL. I urge you buy one now! They're more than that in pounds here than that is dollars!

That card from Best Buy will cost me like 195$ (with tax) and I want to sale my x600 pro for 175$ So...my question is, for that extra 20$ is it worth it?? Is that card from Best Buy much better? My guess is yes...but I need to make sure from you sammoris, I trust you (don't ask me why)...
P.S.
On Bestbuy's page does it say when the deal expires? And also...do I have to buy it online or no? I don't see anything that says online only or about when the deal expires...I think I am blind from excitement...sammoris...can you please make sure???
Thanks alot!!!!!!

If you can sell your X600 for that much I'll give you half that much on top, they're not worth anywhere near that much. I'm surprised that there pretty much is no good value canadian PC component store!

i highly doubt you can sell your card for 175. maybe 75 but not 175. the x850xt is a great card for that price so i urge you to look at that. and sammorris, wouldn't your depth chart be wrong then??
there are a few like pcvonline.com , www.cancomputer.com , canadacomputers.com , btecomputer.com and www.lucomputers.com

Bestbuy sells the x600 pro for 180$ candian plus tax!! (refurbished!)..so...I am in fact, giving ppl a good deal...well...people who don't know OEM products exist...

Then Bestbuy are ripping people off MERCILESSLY. $180 by exchange rate is like £90. After VAT it's over £100. You can buy an X800GTO for less than that, and one of those will leave the X600 for dead. Almost no Graphics cards are OEM by the way, the vast majority are retail.

by OEM I mean not from Bestbuy and other ripoff stores...
So the card from Bestbuy is a good deal, period? Or is it just a good deal compared to the other cards Bestbuy has to offer (price wise)?
And I don't see that card in your list sammoris, what happened?
P.S.
Sorry if I offended you sammoris by calling you a fanboy, I didn't intend it that way.
Is the ATI/SAPPHIRE X800GTO PCI-E 256 MB better than the card on Bestbuy's site? I ask because in this OEM store...I found that card for the exact same price as the one from Bestbuy....

just because they're not from ripoff prices doesn't make them Original Equipment Manufacturer items. The card from Bestbuy isn't great, but it's alright. The newegg deal is 5x better but unfortunately being Canadian you're not allowed a look in. The X800XL? I must have forgotten it! Damn, there are too many! Give me a minute! LOL well fanboy is what you said!

after scanning thru that page, i would say there arent any good deals. even if they were retail, they are overpriced.

Oh so is that why you chose best buy? You're pricing yourself out of all the good deals by not buying online. Why not?
