The 1600XT is a great card, i would go with this one for only $149.

Look how much the X850XT beats the X1600XT. X850XT Pixel Fill Rate 8320 MPixels/sec Texture Fill Rate 8320 MTexels/sec X1600XT Pixel Fill Rate 2360 MPixels/sec Texture Fill Rate 2360 MTexels/sec Now that is the result of the X850XT having 12 more texture units, 12 more raster operators, and another side note is that it has 4 more pixelpipelines and 256bit memory instead of 128bit

don't get 6800GS, u can get 7600gt for a cheaper price and it outperforms 6800GS.
eVGA Geforce 7600GT Core Clock: 580MHz Pixel Pipelines:12 Memory Clock:1500MHz Memory Size:256MB Memory Interface:128-bit price: 189$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130283 aslo have look on this eVGA Geforce 7600GS ore Clock: 400 Pixel Pipelines:12 Memory Clock:800MHz Memory Size:256MB Memory Interface:128-bit price:139$ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130004 and don't go with x850xt because this hard doesn't support shader model 3.0 and it is a noisy card.

Radeon X1600XT: Core Clock:600MHz Pixel Pipelines:12 Memory Clock:1400MHz Memory Size:256MB Memory Interface:128-bit Price:$149 Radeon X850XT: Core Clock:520MHz Pixel Pipelines:16 Memory Clock:1080MHz Memory Size:256MB Memory Interface:256-bit Price:$168 VGA Geforce 7600GT Core Clock: 580MHz Pixel Pipelines:12 Memory Clock:1500MHz Memory Size:256MB Memory Interface:128-bit price: 189$ eVGA Geforce 7600GS ore Clock: 400 Pixel Pipelines:12 Memory Clock:800MHz Memory Size:256MB Memory Interface:128-bit price:139$ thus we take out the eVGA 7600GS from the comparison: (BOLD SIGNIFIES WHAT THE CARD IS BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER CARDS IN... Underlined/ITALIC signifies what the card is worse than all the other cards...) : Core Clock:600MHz Pixel Pipelines:12 Memory Clock:1400MHz Memory Size:256MB Memory Interface:128-bit Price:$149 Radeon X850XT: Core Clock:520MHz Pixel Pipelines:16 Memory Clock:1080MHz Memory Size:256MB Memory Interface:256-bit Price:$168 VGA Geforce 7600GT Core Clock: 580MHz Pixel Pipelines:12 Memory Clock:1500MHz Memory Size:256MB Memory Interface:128-bit price: 189$ ...the Radeon X1600XT gets beat by the Geforce 7600GT because if you look at the clock speeds, you see that the memory clock on the 7600GT 100MHz faster than the x1600xt's and the x1600xt's core clock is only 20MHz faster than the 7600GT's... so i come to the conclusion that the 7600GT is faster that the X1600XT... so we take out the x1600XT from the comparison... the X850XT stays in cus of the jump from 12 pixel pipelins to 16... (BOLD SIGNIFIES WHAT THE CARD IS BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER CARDS IN...) Radeon X850XT: Core Clock:520MHz Pixel Pipelines:16 Memory Clock:1080MHz Memory Size:256MB Memory Interface:256-bit Price:$168 VGA Geforce 7600GT Core Clock: 580MHz Pixel Pipelines:12 Memory Clock:1500MHz Memory Size:256MB Memory Interface:128-bit price: 189$ so it really comes down to what is more important? the extra pixel pipelines? or the faster clock speeds? IMO i would go with the X850XT cus i have heard good things about the card... and in the linksit has the best ratings: these are links to where you can buy these cards (in the order of best to worst IMO): Radeon X850XT - $179 Geforce 7600GT - $189 Radeon X1600XT - $150 Geforce 6800GS (OCed version) - $199 Geforce 7600GS - $139 |

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhh......
I was refering to actual performance, not specs! They have the actual results of the specs like this: Core Clock 590 MHz Memory Clock 690 MHz (1380 DDR) Memory Bandwidth 22.08 GB/sec Shader Operations 7080 Operations/sec Pixel Fill Rate 2360 MPixels/sec Texture Fill Rate 2360 MTexels/sec Vertex Operations 737.5 MVertices/sec THAT is what counts. There is the real comparison between the models.

ummmmm just my 2 cents.im also about to buy a new card to upgrade from a 9550 radeon.something i havnt seen anyone mention besides all these hardcore specs that are always helpful is that the x1000 series has avio software thats going to have over 1 billion colors.in addition to that there is also the adaptive anti aliasing to quote the official ati site"Radeon X1600’s 90-nanometer process technology and ultra-threaded architecture combine power and efficiency to optimized support for Shader Model 3.0 and deliver new high dynamic range visual effects, enhanced realism with adaptive anti-aliasing"
i was originally looking at the x800 series and while the unlockable 4 pipelines are tempting i am pretty sure they dont support shader 3.0,avio,and adaptive antialiasing. in my case and yours in a value minded search for an awesome vid card the x1600 is much more appealing to me because it has the latest software and honestly the x1000 series hasnt even begun to be really overclocked yet while the x800 series has been pushed to the limit. im waiting for any replies too
