Let me know how this turns out, I've had me eye on one, but they're a little too expensive for me atm.

Let us know how it compares to the 6800gt

How does it compare to a voodoo 3 3000?

Congrats on a premo card. :chug

I love my x800. Only problem I've found with it is that I sometimes get visual artifacts if I enable Overdrive (which is basically just overclocking) so I leave it off.

If the description says "AGP 8X" will it work in a AGP4x slot? Right now I have a 9700 Pro.

Post by **FlyingPenguin** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 8:07 am

Any AGP8x should work in an AGP4x slot. They're reverse compatible.

The 9700 is AGP 8x also.

nexus_7 · Post by **nexus_7** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 9:52 am

yes, will work fine

Yes I know the 9700 was 8x, but from the descriptions on Newegg I was a little confused, some say 8X and some 4X/8x. Thanks.
