Need AGP card (ATI)

Joe88 · 23-December-06, 10:54 PM

I need an AGP card using the ATI chipset (me being an ATI fan and such

)

bascially I was looking at the x800GTO and the x1650PRO 512MB(HIS IceQ cooler edition)

which one should I get ?

X850 Pro if you can find it. You can soft mod both the X800 and X850 to 16 pipelines.

the x850Pro was on newegg yeterday now its gone

so the x800GTO would be the better choice ?

Well, I was talking to Necro Yesterday and I recently got a 6800 GS OC. Its almost right on par with a X800 (probably the 12 Pipeline version). It seems the 6800 comes out on top, but I know your looking to get an ATI card.

That card is killed in most games by the X800GTO, this is one time you should ignore 3DMark 06 scores...

115$ but I am not to sure about this place, the resellerratings are just average.

Any way u would consider NVIDIA?

U may be able to find something after the holidays when people restock...or check with Thrasher!

Joe88 · 24-December-06, 09:19 PM

thanx

the $115 compnay, they seem good, under there company info, they were verfied by those companies listed

and the reason why I dont like nVidia is because one of there cards I got at best buy refused to work
I think it was a gforce6200 , I bought it back thinking I got a DOA or defective model, got another and still the same thing, then I decided to try the other compnay ATI, picked a 9250 , put it in and it worked fine, no problems at all .....

The card could have been Defective. It doesnt mean you should stay away from nvidia. BFG; for example; has a life time warrenty on All video cards (atleast mine does).

I just pefer ATI
just let me be

Actually I think Tizakit is in the market to upgrade his card, he may sell his x850 pro unlocked.

He'll be on sooner or later.
