I currently have a 9800XT with a 2800+ Barton and 2gb of ram
I don't want to make the jump to PCIe yet, since I would just get a new processor, ram, ect for that.
I wanted to upgrade my video a bit, so I bought a X1650 which completely sucks. With 6.8 Catalyst, I get 12-24 FPS with 1600x1050 resolution in WoW, with 7.1 its down to 6-12 fps.
My 9800XT gets 24-30 in cities and 50-70 in open areas with catalyst 5.10. Its just when in large groups it goes down to unusable.
Is there anything out there that would give me a performace boost over the 9800XT? I was looking at the X1950 or the BFG 7800GS+ OC although the BFG only has 256 MB it is DDR3
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
