From X850 Pro to X1950 GT?
My 2nd PC (P4 2.8 GHz) currently has an X850 Pro card. The only game that's
played on that PC is Company of Heroes LAN games (connected with my main PC). I get acceptable frame rates (around 30) at 1280x1024 with low graphic options on that PC. To boost the performance, I'm thinking about upgrading the card to an X1950GT AGP. Would I see some real performance boost? I just want to have at least medium graphic options... |

The cpu is still going to hold you back somewhat, but I'd say you should be able to play most every game out there at medium levels or higher. I bought an x1950 pro AGP and I run every game no problem. Can play HL2 at 1600 x 1200 now with everything turned up and runs smooth. Call of Duty 2 a pretty taxing game, and I could play at medium levels no problem. This is with a 3.4 P4. Just make sure you have a solid powersupply with plenty of juice on the +12 rail. |

Have you tried overclocking the X850?
