lol you must of checked the prices. Well lots of people still stand firm behind the 9800 but thats no big leap from where you currently are. As for what sits between the 9800 and the X800 others might better help you. I will say that the X800 Pro is just under the 800 XP PE and is only a 20 mhz clock drop. I have heard of some people updating the Pro's to PE speeds >> Stay informed about: new video card

If you want an upgrade, get at least the x800 pro. I hear the x800 pro vivo can be turned into a PE... Thomas >> Stay informed about: new video card

Well you know the 9700 pro is noting to sneaze at. That's the card im running and playing the same games i get great frame rates in Doom3, HL2 and Farcry if i would be you i would just overclock it and tweak my system. At this time this card is still a great contender i would not spend the extra $$$$$ at this time i would wait.... in HL2 i get over 95 Fps (running fraps) in Counter strike source is the same FarCry never noticed any hesitation and finaly Doom 3 finished it without being disapointed just my 2 cents i would wait till the price drops unless you have cash burning a whole in your pocket cheers Mark AMD 2500 Barton (runnig at 2.0gig) Asus A7N8X-Deluxe 1 gig Duel channel PC3200 120 gig SATA WD ATI 9700 Pro 128 "Ale" wrote in message > Hi to all! > I've a 9700pro at 128MB.. > my pc specs are: > Pentium IV 3.0GHz > 1GB RAM DDR > 160GB HD SATA > MOTHERBOARD Asus P4P800 > NO pci-express > > I wanna change my video card.. what's the best? i want to increase my > performance with doom3 and half-life2.. and far cry =))).

Okay if u must need the new card get yourself 9800XT with 256 onboard memory choose a less known brand like Powercolor this card will do you for atleast 2 yr's. Since u do have limited budget I would either suggest 9800 XT 256 MB card or geforce 6800 GT card, geforce card is little more than 9800 XT but it outperforms 9800 XT at any games!!!!!! This is non biased advice from one user to another..

" Forget 9___, and go to X___. " and what are the differences between 128mb and 256?? " For the 9___ series of cards, 256MB versions were overpriced, and not worth the extra over the 128MB versions. However, the 256MB X700 XT is only a little more expensive than a 128MB, and we are now moving towards games that can utilise the extra 128MB. >> Stay informed about: new video card
