so im looking to upgrade my video card. i have about 150 or so to spend on it. my current video card is an ati radeon 9600se 128 mb agp


my steup is

Intel P4 2.8ghz
1gb ram
550 watt power supply
Ati Radeon 9600se 128mb agp
80gb HD
250gb HD
Cd Drive
Cd-Dvd burner

so i get about 30 FPS in games like World of Warcraft and id like a card that could bring that up to about 60 or above and i get about 60fps in CS 1.6 and id like that to be around 100+ and suggestions. it has to be agp and around 150 bucks. thank you for the help.
 
yea ive seen that car around my friend had a 512mb ati radeon x1650 pro and he let me borrow it to try it out but i didnt see any major improvements. i was maybe getting a 5-10 fps increase in wow but in cs i got a decrease which really caught me by surprise. but i will have to do some more research on that card.
 
yea i had the right drivers and stuff. its not that much comp couldnt handle it it's just that from my 9600se i got about 20-30 fps in wow and about 80 fps in cs but when i tryed the x1650 i got like 30-35 fps in wow and like 60-70 fps in cs
 
a 1650 and a 1950 are WAY different. The 1950 is way better

as stated the 1650 and 1950 are completley different in power.

And if he has the X1650PRO that's not that powerful of a card at all really...the XT is a little more powerful however.

Still the X1650PRO and X1950GT cannot be compared as the GT destroys that card. It's worth the money trust me..
 
Think of the 9600 as a Chevette, the 1600 as an Escort, and the 1950 as a turbo-charged Mustang.
