So far the best card in my price range 129!!!

Core clock: 600MHz

Memory Clock: 1400MHz

PixelPipelines: 12

Even better then the other 2 cards posted in this thread... what do you all think?

Sapphire has pretty much maxed this chipset out. It's basically a X1600XT. 128 memory bus is a bottleneck, but performance is still great

RADEON X1600XT XGE Graphics Card

Would be nice to get considering its about 100 bucks cheaper then the 7800 GS OC

Yeah, you should be good with either of those cards ...

Im trusting you.

I can tell by the specs that this is gonna crush my 6200 OC but im worried about buying a card and having to buy another one after cause this one didnt cut it. Thats why video cards just make me shiver its just not easily to tell what will work and what wont and so on with a video card.

a local shop has the 1600xt in stock so im gonna pick that up in a few.

Alot of my friends are using the 6800gt oc and they say its great. The fps they get from there setups cpu ram is similar to yours and when I compare mine to theres the fps isnt too far off. I am running a athlon 3800 1gig and a 7900gt oc.

Oh I plan on going PCI-E im getting a new MB asap.

I dont plan on a new pc till the Core 2 Quadro's are pretty cheap then Ill upgrade it all.

You won't be able to buy another AGP card ... Next card you get will be with a new computer ...

6200 OC vs. X1600 XT

6200 OC:

375 MHz x 4 Pipelines = 1500 MPixels/s

400 MHz x 128-bit = 6.4 GB/s

X1600 XT:

590 MHz x 12 Pipelines = 7080 MPixels/s (4.72 times greater)

1380 MHz x 128-bit = 22.08 GB/s (3.45 times greater)

Looks like Ill be able to change from 640x860 with all graphics basicly turned off on Scarface to 1024x768 and have them turned up finally!!
