4x-vs 8x--worth it?

[NEWKILLA]

yup, like every one else im upgrading 2 rigs at the worst time

seeing im doing both, i can t swing the $300- 9800 pro

so the nforce 2 board needs to be ready for H/L-2 and the

the other im thinking a gf4-ti4200, my real question is there a big

boost from 4x to 8x or is it all hype,

thanks folks


KILLLLLLAAAAAAA

I don't think I even see any difference from my Geforce2 GTS 4X and
now the Radeon 9700 pro 8X

if it is just the AGP BUS speed you are looking at boosting.. then I don't think its worth the upgrade at all.
Look forward to the RAM and Core speed. Or even better AA and AF quality

This question has been hashed and rehashed. There is basically NO increase with 8x, maybe 1%. Definitely not worth it

THANKS BUD,

i was just wondering if it was noticable, i too can t tell the

difference between my elsa-gladiac gts and my gf3 ti-500

they both play games the same with a lil faster frames with the 500

KILLLAAAA

MY CURRENT RIG--soltek frn2 2100+@ 2.2

512 ddr 3200 and vid card ?????

I'm pretty sure u would be able to tell the difference between the elsa gladiac gts/gf3 ti-500 and the current generations of 9700/9800 cards, due to the fact that you can now run stuff with 16AF/6AA now?

 

[NEWKILLA]

im sure i would, but im being stupid and setting this up

a lil before the next gen of games come out--a fool and his money
