I currently run a ATI RADEON 9800 Pro, and was thinking about upgrading. Well there are so many good cards out there that I figured I would come here and get some suggestions.
I do not use all that "ALL-IN-WONDER" stuff from ATI, but just need better graphics in my games! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks :!:

In AGP, if you're coming from a 9800 PRO I wouldn't bother with anything less than an X800 GTO, X800 PRO, X800XL, X800XT, 6800GT, or 6800 ULTRA.

Any of those cards would be a great upgrade.

The X800 GTO and X800 PRO will be the cheapest as they have 12 pipelines and the rest of the cards I listed have 16... at least I think the X800GTO is available in AGP already.

The best deal is an X800XT if you can find one, I hear they're getting cheap and they're probabbly the best performing AGP card availavble.
