Hey guys.. hopefully someone can give me an answer, as I've not been able to just "google" it.
I've got a fairly old pc, and i'm looking for a cheap upgrade from my radeon 9800 pro. I saw the x850 pro agp on sale for around 230.00 and I was wondering if it would be worth the purchase. My main concern is that it's an 8xagp card and I only have 4x agp on my main board. I know that they're all backwards compatible.. but how much performance am I sacrificing? I don't want to spend any money if I'm only going to experience small gains.
Thanks in advance. =)
