I need PCI-E... I am moving away from AGP as I'm getting a new board/processor next week, with the AMD dealio that's comin to town

We all assumed you were going with AGP, since you said your upgrading your 9800 pro AGP. Some assumed your were Canadian also. LOL

lol, sorry mOeeOm, I guess you were right after all on PCI-e

I'm not sure what kind of deal is going on for a PCI-e X800XL right now (I've seen them for about $250 in the past).

If the difference in price is less than $50, I'd stick with my 6800gt recommendation.

CanadaComputers.com -- ATI x800xl for $329 CDN (AGP version).

They're a little slow... took 4 business days to ship so I might not have it in my hands until 10 days after the initial order (worst case).

x800 XL is faster in BF2

I'd get the 6800GT just for the small performance lead and the newer tech.

I'd much rather buy a 6800 vanilla for $150 and unlock it to GT speeds

That's what I did

This X800XL? How did you get it to $248? Is it good compared to other brand?

 

[myrcgarage]

Where did you get it for $150? The cheapest I found was $204 after rebate. Please advise.

Anandtech did a review of GPU performance in BF2. Take a look there, weigh the performance difference at the resoultion you're most likely to play at and the cost-effectiveness of the GPUs and then buy.
