[bigtimeballer50]

hey guys i curently have a x800 pro and since i got the money on my hand srite now ive been thinking of upgrading to a x800 xt pe do u guys think its worth it?

Personally, no. You have 500$ on your lap? The X800 pro is good enough. I would upgrade my processor if i were you. You can get a 3800 with that money, and have some left over. The 3800 is slightly under 400$ now.

well i have a p4 intel 3.2 ghz ht and a p4p800se mobo and if i upgrad my prossesor i need a new mobo 2 so =/

Big difference between the xt pe and pro so you would see a good improvement. Then again the x850 is better than that and almost the same price but that would require a new mobo. I don't know about doom 3 but on any game I play this card handles aa and af no problem at all. You can also see my benchmark scores on stock speed to give you a good comparison of the improvement you will see since I have about the same stuff as you.
