It is a no brainer... :slap:

regan1985 · Jun 27, 2006

so even if the tech spec says the x1600 one is better i will get better results with the x1800 one i have shown??

its only coz my friend have a x800pro but my 9800xt is a lot better and i wasnt sure if it would be any different comparing these!!

DR.Death · Jun 27, 2006

dude the x800 pro is a better card it is even better then the 1600 for stbilaty

gR3iF · Jun 27, 2006

ps: a x800 pro should be better then a 98xt check your cpus ^^

i guess u have the better one

HookeyStreet · Jun 27, 2006

X1800 GTO 256MB all the way m8

BigD6997 · Jun 27, 2006

regan1985 · Jun 28, 2006

yeh my cpu is way better then my m8s i gess thats what it is even with mine overclocked and his not i would have thought his would be better but its not must be his card lol!!!

anyway is there a 1800 i should go for like brand or specs or gto,pro,xt??????

this is where i will more then likely buy it from please give as many views as im gonna be buying soon cheers

DRDNA · Jun 28, 2006

Dude if your thinking x1800??? then go for the x1900??? as they are nearly identical in price but the x1900??? is lots faster !!!!!!! lots lots FASTER :nutkick:

Azn Tr14dZ · Jun 28, 2006

Don't spend too much money on a graphics card now, since DX10 and Vista will be out next year. Probably get a HIS X1800GTO and unlock it to XT. That would be the best way with the least amount of money.

regan1985 · Jun 28, 2006

if unlock it will it be a good as a 1800xt??? are they the same card other then one is locked???

Lord_Garshna · Jun 28, 2006

I would say a saphire radeon x800gto and unlock the pipes... whats that you say, its not an option. Oh in that case get the darn x1800 already man.
