I currently have the nvidia card but have the option to swap it out with the Radeon but don't know if it's worth it.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
yes it is.
i had the X850XT card which was super!
but this card does not support shader model 3
which was the reason i up-graded to a X1950XT
i cant say much about nvidia as i bum ATI lol

Thanks for the link and the advice
Moved to tech!
What interface do you have? AGP8x or PCI-E?
If you have AGP, go for a X1950Pro or Nvidia 7900GS, as those cards are still pretty uptodate and the fastest AGP cards around.
If you have PCI-E, why would you waste money for a X800 card which is pretty outdated?! Rather go for a X19** series or a good Nvidia 7900GT/8800GTS.

Hah, a friggin 9800 XT or FX 5900 prolly beats a 7300 GT. But yeah, as Sl4y3r said, it'd be pointless to buy that old of a chip-set unless you were getting it for free or something.

Better to get an ATi card that does shader model 3.0 imo.
This is the one I got:

I realize the card is more outdated and that's why I posted to this forum; to get an opinion and guidance as I'm not the full bore tech guy.
No money wasted...the card is free if I want it.
Thanks Bell (aka Martyn)
Looks like I should be swapping cards
As the X800 is for free... But dont expect too much out of it!
6600 GT is actually on par with a 7300 GTT4rd wrote:

If it's free, it's definitely worth it.
yeah if its free and better than ur card get it.
save up
buy 2nd or 3rd gen DX10 cards when they come out, i would wait for 9000's but my 6600 wont last that long
