PCI-E for video slot is only 16x ?? then you have the other pci-e slots that take the place of old pci. but pci-e video is always 16x.
 
Wrong on two accounts there. A single PCIE slot is 16x. Dual (apaprt from a couple of mobo's) is 8x. PCI-Extreme is PCIE x4.

X1600Pro is a horrid card. I sent it back in one build as it was that bad.

Edit: To confirm, you have a Intel PC or AM2, yeah?
 
People are saying that card can run oblivion on max settings?

And its 115 dollars?

And im assuming a card like the 7900GT KO can just about run oblivion on max settings?

What am I missing?
 
At two completely different resolutions. x1600 800*600 max 7900gt 1280*1024 max
 
That card can only play CS at 1440 X 900 at 40fps average with out HDR. Make that max with out HDR and a low res such as 800, and only 2x AA. The 7900 will run it at 1280 with HDR and 4x AA.
 
I have an intel prescott lga-775 3.0ghz oc'ed to 3.3 runnign at about 27C

And i cant afford a 7900. This is just a temp card.
 
And now i am considering only getting one gig stick of ram and the card and just waiting for a while and getting a second stick. Is pqi turbo a good brand?
 
None of us were saying to go for a 7900GT this late in the game. We are just saying the X1600 is not a nice card. Well I was saying it is a terrible card.
 
Ok, wow. I totally changed everything right before i ordered. I found a newegg weekend sale, and it rocked. i only got one gig stick of ram, though, im gonna upgrade to 2 gigs in 2 weeks. Checkt this out:
