7600GT to X1800XT?

[Sniper82]

Is it worth it? Its a BBA X1800XT 512mb. Whats this compare to on Nvidia's side performance wise? Will only have $50 in the upgrade(if I upgrade).

dont get that card, get the x1950xt or the 7900gs if you want to go higher then 7600gt

The X1800XT is comparitive to a 7800GTX or 7900GT. However, the X1800XT usually has better IQ than any of the 7 series cards. IF you can get it REALLY cheap then go for it...otherwise you might be better served with an X1900XT/X1950XT (not the X1950XTX).

I'm getting it for $165 and am selling my 7600GT for $115. I'm not giving $200-300 for it. Even I know the X1800XT is quite a bit better than the 7600GT I was just mostly wanting opinions on if its a noticeable performance boost.

 

[mozirry]

wow, how are you getting a x1800xt for so cheap? Thats a great buy. 1800xts are hard to find as it is online.

 

[thilanliyan]

It will definitely be a very noticeable performance and IQ boost.

Proof? Last time i checked its only 5~10% faster in most D3D while slower in OpenGL titles while also including games such as AOE3 where the GT is faster.

okay but it'll still be better than the 7600 gt he has right now.And its onl $50
