AGP Video Cards

Dating way back when... the 9800Pro was the king model Video Card. haha

Well, it's having trouble running WC3 on full blast these days. So I want to upgrade to a better video (AGP of course). Any recommendations?
 
x850XT is a bit pricey but definitely a solid card. If money's not a problem then get that. If you're on a budget, x1600 Pro is also a good card too, but be prepared to spend some money on a good vga cooler, especially if you want to overclock it. The heatsink and fan on a lot of x1600 pros suck. Also consider 7600 GS or GT, both of which I wish I bought.....
 
An x850 is many times more powerful than the x1600(any model). However, I couldn't find an AGP model on Newegg right off... The 7600GT is another good card. It's also more powerful than the x1600.

Probably, but you can get the x1600 Pro for almost $100 and it's awesome after you overclock it. But, like I said, be prepared to buy an aftermarket cooler, even if you're not going to overclock it.

Edit: Then again, many of the other non-XT x850 cards have gone down in price and are just a wee bit more expensive than the x1600 Pro and have a way better RAM speed. I'm all for budget.....
