Is a 2600 xt agp better than a 6800gt agp? The reason I ask is that have a 939 socket motherboard and was thinking about replacing the 6800GT with a HD 2600XT. I use the computer for some of my older games, I am not looking to change anything else just possibly the video card. I also use WinXp Sp3 for my operating system on this computer. The 6800GT runs fine just thought about trying something different. :D
 
cant you use a hd3850 or hd3870?
I swear I think one of those cards is agp
 
I would try a HD 3850 but I keep seeing that it would be bottle necked because my processor is a single core. My processor is a AMD 4000+ (2.4 San Diego). :)
 
I have been reading some more reviews on Newegg with guys using this card on single core cpus, I think I may go ahead and replace my Evga 6800GT with a HD3850. Thanks for the input.:D
 
You are gonna be bottlenecked no matter what you do.
Try to save up your funds for a new build
 
I have a new build this is just an old build that I am tinkering with. Its my nostalgia computer.;)

not enough to matter in his case. only in the newer games would the 2600xt do noticeably better. unfortunately the same games that could do better with the 2600xt will be limited by his single core cpu.
 
The AGP version of HD3850 has a bad driver support. I know this because I have used one. They haven't released any working drivers for it. The only drivers that work are the ones that come with your CD, and I must say that they are pretty bad aswell. I had to format my computer just to get OpenGL games to work.
