What was the speed of the K8 they compared Phenom to?

mwmorth is pointing me to the 6800GS. I found this review/info and now maybe I will go that route...price depending of course. http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?id=1856&cid=3&pg=1

Would the 6800gt be faster than the 7600GS? Followup question: When looking at benchmarks should I be taking into consideration if a review as done on a PCIe board or AGP board?

This is pretty close to the decision I'm getting advice on in another thread. (good, decent priced agp card to exend the life of my system). I'm looking the the $120-150 range. I've ruled out the x1600 altogether as it looks like the x800xl or x850 pro are better cards...or maybe the evga...

Hadn't thought of that... 1280x1024 is pretty much the highest I've played on currently with the 9700pro and my xp3200...any higher and it bogs down too much. If i'm looking to be competitive on line though I've had to drop it t.o 1024x768

Thanks for the feed back fellas. I guess I just have to decide on whether I want the SM 3.0 support or not. Kinda surprised at the last of 7600 GS agp reviews/comparisons on the web. This card appears to have been kinda thrown out without a launch. Heck even evga doesn't have a direct link...

My trusty agp 9700pro is crapping out (sniffle...was a great card for the price I got it at years ago). So whats a boy to do? Keeping with the new graphics card only solution for this thread... X1600PRO 256MB 128-bit GDDR2 $110 X850 Pro 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 $139 X1600PRO 512MB...
