meh.. drop a x1950 Pro in an nforce3 board and u got yourself a decent upgrade. The card runs most games at high FPS anyway and scores 5000 points on 3dmark 06 , just slightly below the 8800GTS. So Really don't see the point in buying a bunch of parts for a PCI-Express setup (new ram, new cpu etc.)
[PTG]Chef_uk;1031606904 said:Ok, taking in to account what you said about me already having the AM2 processor/RAM i have gone for the EVGA 8800 GTX with an Asus M2N-Sli Deluxe mobo. I know the cost of those is way above my limit but i have put them on my cc and will now go and sell all the bits mentioned earlier to recoup some of what i have paid and pay off the rest with xmas money when xmas arrives.
So far so good. No crashes, everything runs a dream. Crysis gives 25 FPS with everything on full at 1600x1200 with temps of the 8800GTX running at 62c idle and 71c under full load.
Sorry for disrupting this thread. I did love the X1950XT on AGP but you have shown me that i needed to move on. Thanks alot
you should have went for the GT instead. cheaper and performs more or less the same has a gtx
Hes back! lol and you got a 8800gt and no more agp, hows the gt?The 8800GT Fall-Out has even made it into this thread. Amazing, anyway I totally agree. The GTX costs around $500 US which is double the cost of the GT and it's just a hair behind the GTX in performance. Although, your potential for overclocking the GTX will be greater, but still. As far as value goes, the GT is it ....at least for this week.
OK, now back on topic....
[PTG]Chef_uk, what are you doing with the Gecube X1950XT card? It appeared to be faulty? Are you selling it?

its a waste to go with this card, its a little bit of a performance for a lot more money.
just get a 1950 pro from sapphire. i did. should be here on tuesday, hopefully tomorrow, since i ordered it on wednesday, 3 day shipping= monday. soooo.....yeah. gonna be awesome.
Is a waste of money if you don't have a CPU that can keep up with the XT. The XT has 33% more Pixel Shaders, 33% more Pixel Pipelines, 33% more texture fillrate, and it has 69MHz more in core speed (At stock) the performance difference is considerable, but doesn't worth the expense (Even though you can find X1950PRO at $209.00). My friend has the same X1950PRO with 512MB with the same 3.0GHz Pentium 4 Prescott, and using for example, an old game which the only difference is frame rate, at 1280x1024 with everything maxxed using the Counter Strike Video Test, he scored 89fps while I scored 142fps, a bad combination of CPU and GPU can be fatal, I'm still CPU bound even for a X1950PRO.
I think a few people will pop in and say, wtf necrobump!
