don't ever get 1600xt.
and x800 series are quite old ay?
might as well get x850 series for like additional $30 or so. much better choice.
but remember x1600xt is card that was made to trick people into thinking that since its 1xxx series it might be better.
but infact it is the worst kind you can get, scores less than 3000 on 3D Mark 05
compared to my x850 scores almost 7000 in 3D mark 05.
Hmm, you might want to do a little reading up on the reviews (by real testers) on the x1800 and x1900 series. As for the x1600xt, guess it would depend on what you are comparing it against. Again, if the card doesn't support Shader 3.0, then it is old news..period. Now this is spoken from the gamer point of view. If the cards are going to be used for normal use, then by all means, there is nothing wrong with the older cards.
