For all you AGP users...

That card looks like a solid upgrade for todays gam-es. Gaines in Oblivion and other shader heavy gam-es are impressive.

I'm concerned about losing per-formance in older gam-es that I still enjoy playing. Non shader heavy gam-es that I think my x800xtpe would be better for vs the x1950pro. I dont wanna trade down to 12 pipes (36 shaders) from the 16 I have. Older titles might suffer.
 
How old are we talking when we say "older games"? I guess it all depends on that. :)

I don't think you'll have to worry about losing performance in that game with an X1950Pro ;).

Quake-3 based? I agree, that shouldn't be an issue. I had an X1800GTO2 512MB prior to my current card, and it ran Quake 4 at 1600x1200 Ultra quality quite well. The X1950 Pro has less memory, but would have better performance in almost all situations. Considering how much more complex the Doom 3 engine is that Quake 4 is based on, a simpler OpenGL game based on the Q3 engine should fly.

Right. Don't forget the clock speed difference between the VPU on each of those cards, either. I can't see the x1950 Pro being slower...
