This would be a good idea.

Or if you could afford it maybe a full-fledged x850 xt pe.

Oh and you quoted me while I was editing the second link, I accidentally linked to the x850 xt pe AGP version instead of the PCI-E version that I now updated. I don't think the x850 xt pe is really worth the extra cost over the x850 xt though. I think the the x850 xt for $445 is a really good deal. More powerful than a 6800 gt or ultra.

beedubaya said:Also, DoomUK, i think you are making the right move in upgrading. I seriously think something was wrong with your XFX 6800 GT, becuase it was only performing marginally better than my X800 Pro, and the 6800 GT should be at least 25-50% faster.
Yeah considering Ultra quality was really meant for 512mb cards....I remember the 6xxx release news back in march of last year and they said "We will be having new 512mb cards out by summer" and here it is, a freakin year later and they are JUST now barely starting to show news of being released....that's kind of lame IMO, buuuut oh well.The settings I play Doom 3 on are Ultra quality, 1280x1024, 2xAA, Vsync ON. A timedemo on these exact settings gives me around 43 FPS. Not bad, quite playable
