hi guys, i'm building a new system which will be used mainly for gaming and i was wondering is there any PCI-X card in the 200-250$ range which is faster than a R9800XT.. coz' all my current system are using r9800XT(AGP)...

please help.. it's been a while since my last build and i really have no clue on what to buy/look for...n could u recommend me what brand is good (overclockability n stability)

oh, and i was planning on using it on a Dual Core AMD
thanks

PCIe...... PCIe.....not PCI-X

PCI-X is a completely different bus.

7800GT <-Mid-line/sort of high end, play any game for at least the next year

X1900XT(X) <- uber fast, top of the line, spend the money if you REALLY want it

lol. I admire the x800GT02, but if the x850xt is a 10 $ lil more. Especially the x850xt having a better HSF, you don't need to worry about OCing heavily/unlocking/whatsoever without having to turn the fan freaking high lol.
