Best AGP card

X800/X850XT's are better than an x1600 Pro and better than the X1600XT...but the 7800GS beats them all if you can afford it.
 
First of all, 7600GS is not high end card.
Second of all, X850 may get the same score in 3D mark, but 7800GT will give you better performance than X850XT PE in gaming.

X850xt PE performs similar to 7600GT, some games run better on X850xt PE, some games run better on 7600GT. But between 7600GT and X850xt PE I would choose 7600GT because it has new technology and it can be overclocked more.

When will people see the light :rolleyes:
 
the 6800gt and ultra are with those as well, but like the 850 xt pe, theyre hard to find.

Most x850PRO cards can be unlocked to x850XT PE, which is what I did. That makes those cards even better for the money.

The 6800GT/Ultra are decent, but not as good as the x850XT PE or 7800GS.
 
Ati rage 128 Pro all the way.. ;)

just kidding,. trust Omega on this one.. the x850pro/XT(PE) is one hell of a card.
well.. maybe not in today's terma anymore.. but its still very decent :)

I don't have any of those games, so I can't say, but I play CSS, DoDS, and HL2 maxed out with a minimum of 40fps, and I can play Flatout 2 maxed out @ 60, CoD2 near maxed out around 30-40.

I can play oblivion on med/high settings with decent fps with my locked x850pro w/ 12ppl.

actually from reviews alot of ppl have run those games just fine with the x850pro. Seems like a decent and not overly expensive card that if overclocked can match the 7800gs
 
its a bit off topic but what is an unlocked x850 and how do u do it?

As he already said, the most common is taking an AGP x850PRO, flashing it with the x850XT PE BIOS, and then it unlocks the 4 extra pipelines and raises the speeds.

I was able to do it with mine, and it's shown a huge increase in performance.
