I need some advice

[SXT14]

Hey all,
Ok I was talking to a good friend that has alot of computer parts laying around that are in really good condition. any ways Right now in my Gaming computer I have a XFX 6600GT agp. He told me that he would trade me for it, and he would give me a Nvidia Geforce FX5950.

I really dont know what to do. I was wondering some input on the performance and the value of the card, i know my 6600 gt is worth like 115.


Thanks All

Well your card has SM3 the 5950 doesn't. You card also has more efficient vertex and aa/af. Have a look at these banchmarks - then have a talk with your friend about not trying to screw you over

Hey man thanks now another question would it be worth me selling the card and upgrading to a 7800gt or should i wait until I buy a pcie board and get the best cards on the market????

i'd wait untill you buy a PCIe board. the 7800line of AP was the last line of AGP cards being produced, anything comming out after those are PCIe cards.

Man you nearly got screwed over there.

Anyway, wait till you get your hands on a PCI-E board. That way, you'll be future proof.
