    What upgrade options are there for a 9800 Pro owner that DON'T cost 400 bucks?

    X800XLs are already going down in price, last week they were $400, now there selling for as low as $370, in 2 months or whenever you decide to buy, I doubt it would be hard to find one for $300.

    Recommendation needed on new vid card

    please stop saying ATM, it annoys me. I would save up for a 6800GT, or a 6800Nu, but remember, its not certain it will work. What happened to your pro? Also, You could save up a bit, and get an X800 Pro w/ vivo and flashmod it to XT-PE speeds.

    The total failure of SLI

    I actually am Getting the MSI ATI Express 200, because its the only micro otx board O've found, that also has PCI-E, and is Socket 939. Since Im getting an Aria case, I need a Matx, but PCI_E Shuttles are to expensive ($500, cheapest ove found) whcih isnt worth it for a case, PSU and mobo.

    6800 ultra not feeling satisfied with performance vs 9700 pro

    People who judge cards by the benchmarks annoy me... ANYHoo, It is probably a cpu bottleneck, I would get a new mobo, and a A64 3200+, or 3500+

    Keep my 9800 Pro? Or upgrade to 6600GT?

    I wouldnt get a 6600GT even if you plan to SLI them, seeing as how a single 6800GT would beet them You said you have an AGP Mobo? Get a single 6800GT. Or an X800pro with vivo, then flash it to XT-PE.

    His x850xt

    If someone actually pays $800 for this I would personally slapp them.
  11. R

    Would you trade a 6800 Ultra for a X850 XTPE ?

    Im just gonna get an XL, since I upgrade rarely, I wanna get a cheapish card, that will still give me great performance. Then, when The newest of the new cards come out next year, after the first Unreal Engine 3 game comes out, Ill spend $600+, and live with that.

    Most Beautiful game made?

    I dont like Doom3s graphics. Sure the lighting looks fantasmic, But the models=Poo, Th textures=Plastic, and it dont have much going for it. I like Half Life 2 because it looks real. Then again, the Unreal Engine 4 tops them all. (*IMO)

    Most Beautiful game made?

    Did you even read what I said afterward? I said Id get an XL, so when I upgrade to a $600+ card in 1 year or so (whenever the First UE3 comes out) I will get rid of a $300 card, instead of a $600< (Like an Ultra)

    EVGA 6600GT why EVGA? so you can step up (once you save a few bucks) to a better card (6800GT, or Ultra) Make sure you save up fast though, before 90 days.

    Finished: HL2, Why? Because it looks "Real" sure Doom3 has great shader-tech, and Far-Cry has uber goodness textures (or whatever) But HL2 looks Real. The gritty textures, fantastic animation and incredible sound design makes it feel like you are in the game. Unfinished: AOE3, Why? I love RTS...

    Do I/Should I make this upgrade?

    6600GT would be good for mild-mannered gaming. I wouldnt suggest that upgrade, that card will be pretty much obsolete in, say 3 or 4 months.

    Recommendations for Video Card

    Or you could get an X800PRO with Vivo for about $415. The NON vivo model is cheaper (about $20) but with the Vivo you can flashmod to XT-PE levels which=Good (Super good infact) http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-240-023&depa=1
