Which Should I go for

Joeface

Oh wise readers of boards,

I am going to up grade my GFX card , but i need to know if it worth my while or am I even up grading at all, I currently have ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128Mb, i what to do this on the cheap also, so heres my choices

Sapphire Radeon 9800SE Advantage 256MB AGP8Xlink

or

Club3D GeForce 6600, 256MB DDR, 128bit, AGP 8Xlink

I will also take sugestions better upgrades

The 9800SE is much slower than your current card. The 6600 would be similar performance to the 9800Pro so there is no point.

Either:

A) Don't bother (exactly what ciaran500 said)
or
Sell your 9800 pro and get a 6800GT from jes (around 240 euro now for the AGP one).

juliuspret

Yeah a 6800GT would be the best purchase.

Should do you fine on average games for years to come!!!

Joeface

thanks for the input so far lads


I was hoping not to have to spend over €200 euro and also not to have to sell the 9800pro cause I was going to use it as a hand be down for my bro's system



and thanks for subtle dig juliuspret... "average games" well i never

TBH, if you're not willing to spend > 200 euro, then there's no point in getting a new card. The 9800 pro's still a pretty decent card (retailing for 140 odd new). If your bro needs a new card and cash is an issue then I'd consider a 2nd hand 9800 pro...ironically.

Yeah,

Hold onto the 9800pro128. Very cool card. Wait 6 months man.....prices are always dropping.
