X1800 GTO2 upgrading to GeForce 8800 GT is it worth it?

[GrimNir]

I have a Sapphire Radeon X1800GTO2 Limited edition 512MB GDDR3 Memory, Dual DVI, VIVO, Cross fire edition graphics card. - - - and I haven't gamed in ages (though thinking of maybe getting back into it again)

[running on:-
AMD Phenom Quad Core 9850 Black edition
Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4 motherboard
2x 2GB PC8500 DDR3 at 1066Mhz memory
IDE Seagate barracuda 7200rpm 8mb cach 160GB hard drive]

would there be a major graphic improvement to upgrade to a GeForce 8800 GT 512Mb DDR3 card? or GeForce 9800 GT 512Mb DDR3 card? - - - - basically will it be worth the upgrade??

Second question:
I orginally used my graphics card with an analogue adatpter on an old fashioned monitor. I have just purchased a Samsung 22" Wide TFT LCD 225BW monitor (in analogue its worse than my old monitor, picture quality is sh*t) But the connectors on the graphics card do not match the connectors for the DVI cable that came with the monitor? What kind of connector adapter do I need to run this via its DVI mode??

it should fit fine! just push it in. my scart cables are like that. not having every pin, but it works well on my tv!

If you are planning on gaming again it will be a worthwhile upgrade. Btw 9800gt = 8800gt, same chip, everything

i dont think its worth it, maybe a faster card but not 8800gt

Id suggest gaming on that x1800 first, it may be fast enough
