9600GT 512MB/ ASUS/ $110.00

GTX280/BFG/$340
GTX 285/ BFG / $365.00
4870X2 /SAPPHIRE/ $429.00
GTX295/BFG/$600


Crossfire and SLI to be fit in where appropriate.

I have only sourced the least expensive card by model and memory. Factory OC versions are not factored in.

I will also be re-sorting the cards according to best bang for buck as well.

Sources used for price comparisions:

Canada Computers

http://www.canadacomputers.com/

Infonec

http://www.infonec.com/site/main.php

Prices will be in CAD dollars for now

I will include the X1950XTX for under $450 as well, thank you for the suggestion

However, I do not see enough proof that the X1950XTX is faster than the 7950GX2

but for the price the X1950XTX will pwn the GX2

Also the $200 "might" be X1950PRO. Let me dig up some article

I couldn't find any X1950pro's for under $200, they seem to be retailing for around $280-$300
