Re: new computer grahpics card LOOK!!!!!

he's stretching for that 6800XT, but a X1650Pro would be a good alternative, its a bit chunky. (around the same price)

i dont really know of any decent AGP cards costing less than that, (before someone says it the x1600 pro is tripe)

Re: new computer grahpics card LOOK!!!!!

Is this a brand new comp?

Anyways, the X1650 pro would be a good card.

Core Clock & Memory Clock

Re: new computer grahpics card LOOK!!!!!

that works with cards in the same brand range, close to each other.

but you also need to look at other things like pipelines, dx version, etc

The best way to compare cards is using benchmarks.
