I was curious, since I do plan to get a new video card (my 7300 gs that came with the compy isn't cutting it anymore), in the morning when best buy opens up, anyone have any experience with an NVidia Geforce 9500 GT?

Best buy lists at $150, and to be honest, since I've been out of the whole tech loop, sounds like a good deal. I've stuck with NVidia for pretty much all my life and haven't had any problems with it. My PC is pretty well built and can handle the card no problem, but I would like some outside sources about the card on how it preforms.

I'm do some moderate gaming, not the high end stuff that comes out each year. I just want an upgrade that would handle most current mid end to mid-high end games in case if I spot something that looks good.

Only problem that I see is that I won't be able to utilize the max resolution of 2560 x 1600 on it, but 1680x1050 that I'm running (beautiful widescreen monitor <3

) should fit the bill :P.

Edit: After looking a while, would a 9800 GT do better?
