While the X850XTpe, X850XT, and 7600GT are long gone, there is still some hope for AGP'ers.

BBA X850 pro dropped to $130 no rebates:

For those who want better, 7800GS prices are on the move down: Considering 7600GT AGP is MIA, the BFG below looks good.

$229 AR BFG 7800GS OC (400/1250):

$239 AR eVGA 7800GS (reference speed):

The X850 Pro for $130 bucks is a phenominal deal. Hard to believe you can get such a strong card with those specs and performance for that price. Years ago paid double that for a 6600GT 128 bit interface at 500/1000! The re-release (whatever you call it) of the ATI x800 series cards is a real great deal! Jump on it!

Speaking of bang for the buck for a bomb PCI-E card :D , I bought one of these a few nights ago. Wow, for eighty-six bucks the price/performance can't be beat. Unless of course you are selling your 1800xt for $85 :p .

Thanks.

Nice. The $86 X800 GTO 256MB is the best under $100 PCI-e card IMO. But also the 7600GT's for around $110 after rebate are oustanding if the budget can be stretched.

This point is rather moot but ATI had a clearance about 6 weeks ago where the X850Pro was $119 with free shipping. Newegg has shipping putting it at $136. Still a good buy but $119 was a steal.

Not trying to nitpick, but it was the X800XL (refurb) they were selling for $119, and $140 for the X850pro (new).

Good post paul, I am still on the lookout for a 7600 GT but it looks like I don't have much of a choice and I may have to go in for the x850 or the 7800GS. Considering this is going to put me through the vista and dx 10 transition period is the 7800 the way to go or am I better off with a whole new mobo ?

I wonder what the demand is for AGP cards and why the 7600 GT agp card vanished? I know the day will come when AGP is officially gone but damnit im gonna hold on for as long as I can. The reason I had to give up my Ti4200 was because it was not supported by BF2. The way I see things going is AGP cards will be released but only as lower end cards. Does anyone know if AGP cards are more expensive to manufacture than PCI express cards?

New mobo and a DX10 card.

I'd take the 7300GT DDR3 over that.
Not me. You have to OC way above way above 7600GS performance to beat a stock X800GTO.

Read this review. It's of the Inno3d 7300GT GDDR3, but this card is essentially the same as the Leadtek version that's sold here. The review shows the 7300GT scoring about 4900 in 3DM05, which is better than a 7600GS at stock speeds. This review shows an X800XL scoring 5319 in 3DM05. An X800GTO would probably score ~4900-ish, which about the same as the 7300GT. Besides, the 7300GT has better overclocking potential, as seen HERE.

That one site got a massive OC out of it surpassing the stock 6800GS and X800XL. Can you bank on a 600/1600 OC though? Not from what I have seen. This site didn't come close to 600/1600 on their palit or Inno3d. And with them barely beating a stock 7600GS at those clocks, I'd say the stock X800GTO would have the easy lead. And an OC'ed X800GTO could match a stock X800XL too, especially if you don't get a R430 core.

Don't get me wrong, the 7300GT GDDR3 is a potent fun little card with great gains for the extreme OC'er. But it is far behind a X800GTO from the getgo, and whether or not it can pass the GTO will depend how high you can push the 7300GT.

Edit: Just noticed Digit-lifes charts have a 500/1400 7300GT and it spanks the 7600GS in every game I checked. It also trades blows with the GTO, winning by larger margins than it loses. So, that Leadtek you talked about on Newegg is a fine card for the money based on these charts: http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/digest3d/index.html

I'm only getting 4900 in 3DMark05 with my X800XL. Of course my AMD 2600+ probably isn't helping.

I just purchased an AGP ATI X1300 256mb for $60.00 retail after the mail in rebates. Not too bad for an older computer that needed an emergency swap.

I would not recommend the X1300 AGP in any situation with the exception of the above ^^^

It filled a cheap need and I kinda figure my wife will never know the difference.
 
Why?

PS. I want to upgrade my ASUS nVidia 5200FX 128MB/128bit AGP gfx card.

I have a socket 754 AMD Athlon64 3000+ and don't care to upgrade to PCI-Express. I play games at 1024x768 or 1280x1024 res. on a 17" CRT monitor so I don't need excessive res from the vid card when gameing.

I do however want to be able to play current gen games at playable frame rates. (I will never play oblivion as I am more into FPS'ers)

Any ideas on what card would be best for me?

-Jeff
