I have been out of the video card discussion/debate lately. I currently have a X800Pro AGP and looking at upgrading to AMD64 which would mean a new PCIe video card. I personally prefer ATI. What would be the equilivent of the AGP X800Pro in PCIe and what would be a good upgrade.
I do run Dual monitors one DVI and the other DSub (but that can be fixed with an adaptor)
I prefer sub $300.... Let me know your comments and please dont turn this into another ATI Nvidia debate. I am open to good information on Nvidia.

I was actually just going to ask this question reguarding AGP card. Im kinda out of the loop but need a nice AGP card.. Hey Sell me that x800 when you get PCIe

he, i was going to say the same thing, sell it to me.
and for your answer here from Toms Hardware
AGP Cards 3DMark test


PCI-E Cards 3D Mark test


so if you wanted the same power it would be an other 800 series card just in PCI-E flavor.

dont forget me when it comes to selling your AGP.

I'd recommend an ATI or Sapphire x800 XT PCI-E. That's the most cost effective card right now, unless you want to spend a rediculous amount of money.

Too bad you dont like Nvidia, I have two 6600gts I will let go for cheap If you got a mobo with sli capabilities.

See I am an Nvidia guy.. and for that $300 range.. ok a little over.. you can get a kickass BFG 7800GT that would outpreform the X800 XT in the above sample by about 700 points..

and by a little over.. depending on shipping option you choose.. $15-50

just my two cents..

the charts are exactly what I was looking for. Thanks guys.
As for the resale...If I do jump into the new computer I will follow up with you.

That seems like a good deal.
They do not post the core and memory speeds. Anyone know if they are 520mzh and 1020mhz like other X850XT?

Sapphire makes ATI's brand cards and they're clocked exactly like ATI cards.

does it not look like this card got hot or had something spilled on in this picture?

haha that does look like somebody spilled coffee on it lol..
