Got an x800xt

[y0d4]

Hey all, i just instaled my ATI x800xt, and what an improvment from a 9800. If you have a decent processor and a gig of ram, cosider this if your getting slowdwon in games. I was thinking about upgrading eerything to PCIE, but it seemed to expensive. If you on the fence as to upgrade your AGP card one more time, id suggest it if you have a a 9800PRO or less. This runs WoW at 1280x1025 6XAA 16XAF @60 FPS, i bet it would it would go higher if my monitor would refresh faster.Chaos Theory runs at the same settings, and wow what a looker. Even FEAR runs at 1152x864 on high, although had to drop down the AF and AA some. I dont know why its so demanding, at the same resolaution Chaos theory looks better.

If have adeent AGP system, put an x8000xt/x850 in it and wait a year for new intels and amds IMO.

What did you pay for your card if you don't mind my asking?
Edit: I also made the jump from 9800Pro AIW to an x800XL, and the improvement was phenominal.

I paid 289 at newegg + shipping. I know i could have gotten a 7800GT for 300, but it seemed like a waste to get a new mobo and processor and everything. It the AIW version too, so if i get ambitious i can make a PVR.
