x1600 or Geforce 6800 vanilla

[note235]

Agp
I need a new GPU. I had a vanilla 6800. Now i have a geforce 4 mx.Intergrt.
Agp
Gecube's radeon is suppose to be released new month right? Should i get that?
Is that a radeon x1600pro? 128bit with 256 ring bus? Is that good?

yeah, i'd say go with the x1600pro for agp, if that's actually what it is, and especially if its 256mb. i'm pretty sure it will do better than an agp 6800 vanilla, and at worst, it will be the same. but as I said, it should be decently better, and definately smoother, cuz of the extra vram (if it is 256mb).

just for reference though, if it was for PCIE, I would probably lean towards the 6800nu, because they have a reputation for overclocking very high. I had a Dell system pull from ebay that i sold to a friend that would run at 450 core, and 850 memory (it actually would go higher, but i like to be safe with video cards). it benched just shy of a stock 6800gs, and i mean JUST. I sold that gem cuz i wanted him to have a reliable card that wasn't gonna DOA or die prematurely (as waaay too many pieces of hardware have done that i have purchased). now I just got a connect 3d x800GTO cuz i wanted to play with one, it was a refurb on newegg, looked brand new with all accessories etc. and unlocked successfully with the expected overclock for that kind of core (R420? or is it 520?).
sorry about gettin off track btw
