I want to upgrade my gfx card. Its a agp 8x bfg 5200 geforce. Im looking for something decent in the 80-140 $ price range and i got my eyes on this card.

I was looking at one of those too, but then I found an ATi x800GTO for 5$ cheaper, that was better.

The X800 has twice the pipelines that the 6800XT has. I believe it has better clocks too.

EDIT: The clocks are just about the same

The 6800XT has 350/1000
The X800 has 400/980

But the extra pipelines are worth it.

Here's the link:

The spec's say it only has 12 pipelines, but it actually has 16 as Sapphire has unlocked them for everyone.

Good luck on your decision.

Why dont you pick up an Nvidia 7600GT or GT KO ... better performance for a similar price.

i dont think they make them for AGP

 

[dave39]

Cool thanks for the info guys. I have a 350w psu should that be ok for that video card. See my sig. Heres the link to my psu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103934

Edit: Mobo is a K8N socket 754 i have to fix the sig

there's a 7600GS for AGP, might work for you, the lowest $ is around 120 i think ...

Is that particular xfx 7600 gs better then the 6800ultra that i posted? and why does the 6800ultra have 1000 mem clock and the 7600gs only 533 ? Also would my socket 754 3000+ slow down anything when i would play games? For the future what is the best processor i can get for this socket, i dont see any on newegg.
