I have a chance of getting a ATI X1800XL for much less then waht they go on newegg for and I was wondering it if it worthit to upgrade from my X800XT that i purchased January 2nd of this year. I mainly play CS source and the X800XT runs the game maxed out no problem on my native lcd resolution 1280x1024. I also have a 3400+ S754 Newcastle that is clocked at 2.6 ghz 10x260fsb with 2.5-3-3-7 timings and was wondering it it would be a bottleneck to the X1800XL.

So what do u guys think
 
I thought the X1800 only came in PCI-E? Isn't your board AGP?
 
I hate to burst your bubble, piss on your parade, do whatever it is that would ruin your day, but your motherboard is agp. that new card is pci-e.

Ok then...Then being that your x800 allready runs games at max settings at your max resolution, I would personally just stay with the x800. But the x1800 and resell it for some cash.
 
what kind of increase would i see ?

Anyone got a link to some CS Source banchmarks with this card ?
 
If you can upgrade for cheap do it.
It's a big jump from your old card that will start paying off
in games coming this year and next.
 
yeh...huge jump in newer games and your fps will nvr drop under probably 80 on source with everything max and on a 64 man map...
