question about upgrading

[johnny_revolution]

okay so ive got an ATi Radeon 9600XT All In Wonder card currently in my Stacker, im cureently looking for an AGP upgrade. i was thinking about this sucker:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150155

the XFX Geforce 6800XT. i was curious what sort of performance increase i could/would be looking at.

would the card be worth it? upgrade wise? im looking for a performance upgrade of at LEAST 50% (if that makes sense)

any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

That card would be totatally unworth it, however for even a cheaper price and a better card you should look at the X1600pro http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102666 It would give you at very nice performance increase maby even twice as fast as the geforce and probably about 2-4x faster then your radeon.

any X800GTO would be good. X1600Pro isn't worth the money, i wouldn't touch it at all. That XFX 6800Xtreme has the ability to unlock pipes (the AGP version ONLY). You can get 6800GS speeds on the AGP version of the 6800Xtreme (but that's if you wanna take the chance of bios flashing, etc..)

Get an X850PRO. They've got them for outrageously cheap on ATI's website and they will outperform an X800GTO. http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=2699206

There is a huge difference between a 9600XT and an X850PRO. You won't be disappointed.
