Gday,

I was looking into a new video card and spied the ATI Radeon x1650 (512mb) pro, i currently have a radeon 9600pro. Also looking at a x1300
Is the upgrade of either video card a big change in performance and does anyone know what kind of settings i can get from these cards.

also im looking at AGP editions.

This is from my guide to buying your new video card, which I recommend you check out (it's a sticky in the Tech forum)

ATI Radeon X1650 Pro
Street Price: $130-$185
Core: 12 pixel shaders (4 pixel pipelines), 600MHz
Memory: 256-512MB, 700MHz
Memory Interface: 128-bit

Starting September 14, ATI will replace its Radeon X1600 XT part with the new Radeon X1650 Pro. The original X1600 XT card shipped for just over $150, and while the Radeon X1650 Pro has an MSRP of $99, street prices have hovered between $130 and $160, pushing it out of the budget category.

So you reccomend the 9800 pro over the x1650 (512)? If so BONUS alot cheaper

x1300 pro isnt good. X1650 is pretty good. I couldve sworn there was a 7600agp though. 9800 is old...sm2 i think

X1800 512MB atleast, dont go AGP, you'll notice a difference just by switching to PCI-E, faster loadtimes, and Im sure the X1800 can be OC'd

True, but by the souds of his first post, he's got a mobo which supports agp, not pci-e, and is trying to get a performance gain without the hassles of reformating and such.

get a 7600GS , trust me, x1600 types run extremely hot, and a 512mb card with 128bit interface is just wasting memory. 7600 is 128bit , but in my experience nvidia probably runs a lot better. My x1600PRO agp runs like crap with the 'newer' games.

first i must say i had the unfortunate event of meeting pelvicthrust in a pub.... and its rare i say this but he is a complete and utter douche in every sense of the word. tk/camp/accuse of hacking/act like hes 3 years old is only the beginning. That and i dont think he knows what hes even talking about.

now that that is out of the way, please check out this link
http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/10/31/ … page4.html

you may check out the next page for slighly more expensive ones too... but by looking at this they are saying go w/ the x850 for your price range. i can find some benchmarks if u really want me to (tho u should b able to find em).

aight this guy sucks, only a complete and utter douche would give links to video cards in the AGP format, and thte OLD X### series....

its either the 7 series geforce, or X1K series

only a complete and utter douche would do so, and take people serious in servers, grow up nic, or aquire some logic

Why get a 9550 if he has a 9600? That's downgrading.

Well im looking in the AGP foramt so no need to flame him, he was helping out. So it looks like its between the 7600GT and a X1650 PRO at the moment. ill have another look at prices because that plays a bg part in the card i get. Thanks for the help and info from everyone
