There comes a time in a man's life when he has to get rid of his X850XT AGP because he bought a new 1333MHz bus CPU and needs a new MoBo.
so i wanted to know what type of card to buy at the moment. the 320MB 8800 starts at 400$ where i live so thats not an option for me, plus im not that crazy for DX10 compatibility.
the way i see it i can:
1) buy an el-cheapo 7300 to hold me out until the next generation causes a price drop and then maybe get a 8600GTS (i saw it almost matching a 8800GTS in most games)
2) buy an X1950Pro 256MB for around 220$ and that would probably be the last card i ever buy (unless of course it dies and somehow becomes magically void of warrenty)
there is also an unspeakable 3rd option: find a 1333MHz bus compatible MoBo with an AGP slot (ASrock something) and keep the mighty X850XT.
my hardcore-gaming days have passed, and i mostly play RPGs.
what do you think?
the system will be:
C2D E6550
Abit IP35-E (not bought yet)
Twinmos 2GB PC6400 CL5 RAM
