I'm looking for a good graphics card for a new system that will last a few years and play new 3D games at high video settings between $100-$300 (AUS) (i might consider just over 300)

The guys at experts-exchange have recommended the ATI X1950 Pro and nVidia 8600 series.

There are so many types of these cards around and want to know which ones are the best.
Here's a link that gives some good info on what's available to me:

both of these show the x1950 being slightly better than the 8600gt/gts, ~10FPS at the max. but keep in mind that that 8600 is dx10.
