AGP!

@ $200 the 7800GS might actually be a decent deal if he isn't going to upgrade for a long time...

the x700's, x1600's, x1300's, etc. are not really a good value for gaming at all. You're most often better off with a lower end x800 card or x1800gto. I've yet to see where a card that was released as a mid-low end card is a good choice for gaming.

Now for HTPCs or everyday computing, the midrange cards are great.

But you should stick with the x800's, 1800's, 6600's, or 6800's.

oh, the sapphire card is the x800 vanilla.

go for the x850pro!


Actually, the X800XL has a higher pixel fillrate, but a lower geometry fillrate, while the X850 PRO is the opposite. The X850 PRO is generally slower in most games than the cheaper X800XL which is slower than the X800XT.
