Just a FYI... ATi/AMD's "Pro" video cards haven't been supreme gaming contenders since the 9800 Pro days. Opt for a XL/XT-series if you can... it'll be worth the extra bucks.
For a serious video card comparison that puts it all out there in raw numbers, check this out:
TechARP's video card comparison guide - formerly Adrian's Rojak Pot for those of us geeks that remember it being named as such.
Actually, an AMD/ATi X1900XT would be a really sweet card and it'd out-perform the X1950 Pro any day of the week. Hell, an X1800XL/XT would run circles around it. They're all the same tech-level (DX 9.0c), and the X1800-series supports AVIVO encoding (as does the X19XX series)... if you can find one, you'd be laughing.
