Hello,
Have a Radeon 9800 (non-pro, non-XT version) that apparently has
faster memory so it could be, technically, at pro clock speed. I
haven't done anything with it yet. Question I have is whether or not,
at the price I mentioned in the subject line, this card is worth
upgrading yet? I see Nvidia 6800s at the upper end of the $200 range.
I also see x600 cards right at $200. I guess the main thing I'm
looking for is a playable or smooth framerate in FPS-type games at
1024x768 or 1280x1024.
I'll wait if the price and time is not right, but it's been tough to
tell how much some of these cards differ (can't even find the x600 in
benchmarks.
