There are 2 cards in stock at Newegg that I am thinking about getting for my AGP system since they are cheap. I currently have a Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB. Here are the contenders:
SAPPHIRE 100131SL Radeon X800GTO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Retail - $129.99
and
BFG Tech BFGR68256GSOC Geforce 6800GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Retail - $164.99
Does anyone know which card is faster at the out of box specs? That is one thing influencing my decision. The other thing is, in the X800GTO reviews most people are saying the thing runs super hot, so i'd probably be buying a Zalman ZF900 fan for it, which would bring the price up to 163.98, about a dollar less than the BFG card would be.
Opinions?
