Which card is better??

[roacher07]

I am wanting to get a new agp video card (mainly because I dont want to buy a whole new computer). I am wondering which card would be better to get for the money and performance, a x850xt for $316 or a x850pro for $250. Just wanting any imput I could get from you guys. Thanks

If you have the money definetely the X850XT. It's probably worth about 15-20% more performance over the Pro.

i think all the x850's are lower clocked. dont have an ati, but i THINK thats whats the deal with them.

if you had to choose, i would get the XT, if there are other differences other than clock speeds between the pro and XT. if not, then the Pro is better, as im sure you can OC to XT, maybe even XT PE speeds with a good cooler.

I too was tempted by the pro but I brought it back and got an XT.

The pro has 12 vs the 16 pipes for the XT and the pro has lower clocks.

x850xt

GTO2 modded FTW though

Get an X850XT. It has 16 pipelines, whereas the X850Pro has 12 and lower clocks, so it will never reach the speed of the XT.
But as Corporate Thug said, GTO2 FTW!

lol, i was right. go for an x850xt. OC it to XT PE!

x850pro

I'd get the $250 x850pro. It should flash to 16 pipe and end up as a x850xt. I'd flash it to a xt850xt, overclock beyone xt850xt pe speeds and save $66

AGP x850pro to x850xt w/ 16 pipes

X850 pro mod too 16pipelines and oc 615/600 easy : @

 

[villageidiot111]

Well, I think oc'ing the GTO2 is the best deal, but between those two I would go for the x850xt.
