You dont need to own a card to know how it performs.

Check out this chart-

The X850XT blows the X1600XT out of the water. The 4x3 pipeline configuration cripples the card.

I almost bought this exact card, but instead upgraded to PCI-E: X800GTO AGP

with the pricing, the X800/850's dont cost more than the X1600XT do they?

Best Agp Offering From Nvidia Is...

The 7800 GS!

Afaik, & speaking STRICTLY from a "POWER" viewpoint (where money is no object & all that), it is THE MOST POWERFUL NVIDIA BASED AGP SLOT VIDEOCARD SOLUTION...

* I wanted one: However, it's only like 10% faster than the AGP 6800 GT OC (by BFG) that I have in my 2nd rig, anyhow typically from tests I took peeks @ when the 7800 GS released... which was around 6 mo. after I picked up the 6800 GT OC.

APK

P.S.=> I don't know what your price range/threshold of pain is, but those are the best AGP offerings I am personally aware of from the NVidia side of things... apk

A x1600xtx can not keep its own with an 850xt an 800 perhaps you ment a 9800xt that must be it :roll:

just kidding it can almost hang with it if you have the xt but lets see 2x for crossfire wont run with a 1900xt 256 so why did you spend that much money?

overclocker · Oct 1, 2006

i get 5359 in 06 and 10029 in 05 with a little oc and i spent around 300$

Pinchy · Oct 1, 2006

overclocker · Oct 1, 2006

yea well check this out the x850xt isint even on it in this 1 http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics.html?modelx=33&model1=574&model2=556&chart=231

beachbum86 · Oct 1, 2006

Yes, your comparing all these with TWO x1600xt's. This thread IS about AGP, and you cant exactly get corssfire in AGP. so can we please talk about ONE card here.

overclocker · Oct 2, 2006

ok lets end this ur x850xt is better if you dont mind 2.0 shader mines better for the gfx ok

lol

yeah and isnt that simply because they didnt test the x850xt with that game? :slap:

LOL! nice ending

...i felt a flame war was going to arise at any time :rolleyes:

yea thats true, you will be able to get better HDR lighting than us (if thats what you like

)

overclocker · Oct 2, 2006

lol yea i dont like flame wars and what do you get in 3Dmark 05 no overclock and with overclock ?

KennyT772 · Oct 2, 2006

...read the fucking thread people...

he wants agp.

dude get a 7600 to hold ya over until you update your rig. it isnt a bad card but it isnt great either.

Pinchy · Oct 2, 2006

lol but you have to compare cards when comparing prices, or else you wont know whats the best bang for your buck

trt740 · Oct 2, 2006

The best card i think might be this one

this card can be overclocked to near 7600gt specs and has shader 3.0 for 114.00 dollars its a steal

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150190

or this one with 512 mb of ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143069 for 139.00

Im an ati guy but the 7600gs cards are very good agp cards bang for the buck wise

If you can do without shader 3.0 this is a good ati based card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102608 and this card for 124.00

Frick · Oct 2, 2006

If I recall correctly (yeah, like that's gonna happen

) the 7600GS in pretty much en par with x800gt.. And to overclock the ass out of it you have to voltmod.

trt740 · Oct 2, 2006

the core can almost always reach gt speeds the ram will hold you back some however, and its a very good card most people who review it will tell you its can play almost every game out there at moderate to high settings.
