[simmo.3]

hi guys as you can see im still using my old 9800pro, what i would like to know is a Sapphire X1600 Pro 512MB DDR2 AVIVO TV-Out/DVI (AGP) better, i dont want a top line card just bit of an upgrade.
and it has to be agp coz i aint going to change me puter for a while.

thanks to all.

it is, but not by much

youd be better off with an x800gto available for around the same price

I'd agree with m3csl2004, an X800gto is about the best option new for your price range. Secondhand you might be able to pick up a decent AGP card from someone who is upgrading like a 6800gt or X800XT but you might not want to get a used card

thanks so far guys, how about a OcUK GeForce 6800 GS 256MB GDDR3.
it sounds sad that i dont want to spend £s on a card but i just dont need a top line one, just one thats better than me pro.

cheers

1600XT IMO

EDIT: soz just noticed no XT on AGP

Stay away from the x1600pro, its an atrocious card.

well guys would it be worth upgrading to a GeForce 6800 GS or X800gto from my trusted 9800pro or are they no better.

thanks

6800GS is quite a lot better, and you might be able to unlock it, giving you 6800GT performance.

i will buy the 9800pro off you for a decent price, my brother is after a better graphics than his 9200

Lol, the 6800GS performs the same as a 6800GT, sometimes a llittle better.
