Is it?
I am on a TIGHT budget here. I have a BFG 6800OC (Unlockable) and an nv5 Silencer that I have to get rid of, and I figured that I can get maybe.....$165 for both?

Well, I am budget-oriented here. Would throwing in maybe $20 for a 7600GT on top of that be worth it? I'd get the eVga one, $190 at newegg and ZZf.

Any Benches? Anyone want a AGP 6800oc???
 
Absolutely. Great card for the $$$. 7600GT thrashes a 6800GS which Trashes a 6800Ultra. U can definitely handle the math there. ;) ;)

sweet, I'll be upgrading to a a64 3200+ and an evga 7600gt from an A Xp 2000+ and 9800xt. I should feel the goodness too right?

My upgrade will match yours, almost completely :)

I hope I'm not making a mistake :/

Hell yeah.

You'll ALMOST feel it more in the processor than the video card - if you do more than just gaming. It's rather crazy how fast the A64s can feel.

Eh, the 6800GS beats a 6800GT in most things, but a 6800 Ultra...?

No dont get me wrong. At stock it can't beat the 6800 Ultra. However the 6800 Ultra was one of those cards that didn't overclock too well and when it did increase in clock you got very little performance boost. I proudly owned one about 1 1/2 years ago. However the 6800GS overclocks like mad and scales well too. When overclocked it can beat a 6800Ultra running at 400/1100. I've seen the 6800GS beat a X850XT at X850XT stock speeds, which sadly I'll admit the 6800Ultra could never do except for a few open gl titles.
 
Well, I MAY have a buyer for my 6800.

This card is looking sweeter and sweeter :) :) :)

Now, is the higher clocked eVga a big improvement over the lesser clocked one? If not, I'll just slap an nV5 Silencer on the slower one, and OC it :)

I went from a 2400+ Athlon XP w/ 9700pro to a 3400+ A64 and 6600GT and needless to say, I was blown away. Your upgrade should pack even more of a punch with the 7600GT behind it. Gaming will never be the same again! Enjoy, I think you'll be really happy with your upgrade. I'm a fan of mid-range components and the 7600GT looks to be a very formidable mid-range card, a suitable successor to the 6600 series.
 
6800GS does not beat a 6800U..GS is about the same as a GT. I would recommend to get a X850XT, since their about dirt cheap now at 160-170$. I know the X850 only has SM2.0, but it's the best bang for the buck performance wise right now for PCIE, and it'll hold you over till DX10 cards are out.

I disagree with you that a overclocked 6800GS can't beat a 6800Ultra @ 400/1.1. I've seen it myself in many benchmarks real world gameplay results and 3dmark type. However even with a X850 @ $170.00 a 7600GT would Annihilate this card brand new for only $199.99 or less as seen here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130283. We're talking about up to 20% faster(below 1280x1024) and up to 40% faster (above 1280x1024). With better image quality shader model 3.0, hdr, and SLi capability. It's a no brainer. Even at that price the X850XT is a complete waste to even consider.

Ten-Four.

This and a DFI-Ultra D, Venice. Damn.
 
I dunno about the nv silencer 5. You may have to wait for a new silencer to come out. OMG your gonna overclock too!!! Your really gonna love this card. These new 90Nm Nvidia cards overclock like mad. I have my card at 700 and it can do over 730 stable. I expect close to a 100 mhz overclock on your card too but you never know ymmv rules apply
 
hmm i noticed your going from an agp card to a pci-e card and not upgrading the mobo? you do know you cant fit a pci-e card in an agp slot? (sorry if i missed something or i am being the dumb one in any way)
