Which Video Card is Better?

[Format _C:]

I need a cheap PCI-Express card for my new Athlon 64 System(using an old 3dFX PCI Video Card for now until I can afford a PCI Express Video Card) and I'm looking for video cards on New Egg and I see a ATI X800GTO and an X1600XT I know one is more expensive but I heard the X800 Series is better then the lower end X1K series am I right? So which of these three cards would you recommed for me? I have a Dell 1905 FP Monitor with a DVI connection and 1280 X 1024 Resolution Thanks



X800GTO



X800GTO 128MB



X1600XT

this has 16 pipes & clocked faster, GTO only has 12..

price has really come down on these, same as the GTO after rebate... $89 can't beat it.

I have one of those Sapphire cards. For $89, there's no reason not to get the X850XT.

X850XT is the way to go if you can't get a X1800XT 512MB.

I'll sell you my 7600gs 256 or x1600pro 512mb

Just get the X850XT for $90. That's just an incredibly ridiculous price, just get it and enjoy all current games at max settings. Well, except for HDR since there is no SM3 support. But really... I paid $480 about 13 months ago on my X850XT PE and now you can get them for $90 after mail-in rebate.
