"The better Card?"

Right I'm looking at either getting an ATI X850 XT PE for £325 inc del from Komplett (club 3d) or a Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/2600 256MB AGP DVI-I VO for £297 inc del from Dabs. Which is the faster card and which will last me longer? As I know the X850 XT PE card is harder to come by at the moment in AGP for a decent price I'll go for that now rather than missing out, if it's the better card! Cheers!

Wow, thanks for the enlightenment - and it's taken the pressure off as the X800 I was about to buy was on eBay, closing tomorrow!

*checks specs*

Ooh, pretty featured there, VIVO, HD and everything!

I think I'll most definitely get that one, although I have to acquire the funds first as too much has gone out of my Bank Account this Month for me to manage...

*hears faint taunts from Credit Cards*

I paid £370ish for my X800PE from Hong Kong and it's still damn near impossible to find. As was the 64-FX53.

Not sure how good Club3D are but for a PE £320 is a decent price.

Nope you can get them in AGP..one sec and I'll link you.

Here:

Huh?

As far as I can see, X850's are PCI-E only.

If I'm wrong, and they're the same price as X800XT PE's, please let me know! :D

Did you mean X850 XT PE? That's what I'm going for I think! It's a pretty good deal (I'm going for AGP btw) considering the X800 XT PE's are going for the same price. Overclockers and a few other places are charging £350 + exc del so I rekon it's a good deal. What graphics card you got at the moment?

Is £320 a reasonable price for an X800XT PE inc delivery?

I'm close to clicking on the buy button.

It would mainly be for WOW/SWAT 4 (when I get round to buying it) and anything that's coming out from now on really..I like to run things in high res and WOW does bog down on my 9800 Pro sometimes when there are tons of people on screen.

X850 withoooot a dooobt.
