Should I upgrade my 9700Pro to a X800 Pro?

[BuckMaster]

I have a 9700Pro now and love it. The benchmarks Ive seen on the X800 Pro seem to blow the 9700Pro out of the water now!

Would it be a good (performance gain) upgrade from the 9700 Pro to the X800 Pro?

Also is anyone worried about buying this new AGP card when AGP is going away here soon with new PCI Express version boards?

Thanks!

Well if you play games sure it is!

Oh yea I must play my games! Looking forward to Doom3 and HL. That would be my reason to upgrade for games. I just havnt did much research since Ive owned my 9700 Pro and seen the new X800 being released and thought Id get some advice from others keeping updated with the new video cards.

Thanks!

of anything, i would wait til all the card hit stores before deciding

so when is the 800XT version hitting the retail stores?

It's more than worth the upgrade but if you have the money go for an XT instead.

wait until HL2 and D3 is released

wait and buy it later

should feel the difference in FPS when playing games like HALO, FAR-CRY . UT 2004 ETC..
