Hey Guys, I'm new on this forum and I have a question. I currently have a BfG 5900 video card and I want to make an upgrade. I dont have a whole lot of money to spend and I was looking to buy a ATI Radeon X700 PRO 256MB, what do you guys think? Is this a good upgrade at all or is it a waste? I mean I could get my hands on a ATI Radeon X700 PRO 256MB for like $150. Good upgrade or other suggestions?

6600gt would be better

How much do those go for, cause I'm short on cash?

Thanks, I'll look into that. But is it a big upgrade from the BFG 5900 to the ATI Radeon X700 PRO 256MB or just minimal??

see if this would meet your likings.

the 9800 is better than the 5900 btw

:thumbsup: 6600gt is a great $150-ish AGP option.

But is the 9800 or 9800pro better then the ATI Radeon X700 PRO 256MB??

9800 pro was going for $90 the other day. But I second the motion for a 6600gt otherwise.

 

[suicidalpigeon]

meant the pro
