AGP RADEON X850 Series Shad 3.0 tech
Hi all , I have a x850 xt agp card. Unfortunatly , Ubisoft came out with
Rainbow 6 Vegas which my card does not support. My question; is there an upgrade card in the agp version that will run this game with more juice than my current card? (make it worth while) My system plays all other games at my acceptable resoulutions. The Agp ATI 1950pro has not come out yet which would be my first bet-any seconds? Thankyou in advance and Merry Christmas! |

no upgrade for the 850 but i've seen the 1950 pros at bestbuy the last
couple of weeks, a bit pricy at $300 though. you might try an nvidia card but i don't know what equate with an 850xt off the top of my head. Steven Fischer wrote: Hi all , I have a x850 xt agp card.

Dammit , I may have to spend 800 cold ones on a graphics card and
motherboard(asus) I really think that Ubi using the shad 3.0 tech on the games could be an error. Not everyone has capabilities to splurge on a rebuild especially this time of year. I will have to dump the agp sys sooner or later. With hope -alot later. "Steven Fischer" wrote in message news:UPBjh.515908$1T2.198836@pd7urf2no... Hi all , I have a x850 xt agp card.

Well, the 6800s and the X850s came out about the same time, so I would just hazzard a guess that they are fairly close in performance. Ed Steven Fischer wrote: Hi all , I have a x850 xt agp card.

The X1950 Pro is already available in some places:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=GX-137-SP Then there's the Gainward 7900GT on AGP. It's on par or better than the X1950 Pro. Note the price is about double of what PCIe 7900GTs go for: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=GX-032-GW Several North American users in this newsgroup have successfully imported from OCUK without much fuss. I don't think they charge VAT for "overseas" sales, but shipping is in the $30 range. P.S. What was Ubisoft thinking, making SM 3.0 as a minimum requirement? This reminds of Delta Force 2, whose voxel engine was incompatible with 3dfx cards... The reason every iteration of Half Life has sold so well is partially because Valve conducts proper surveys and know what its customers actually have: http://www.steampowered.com/status/survey.html -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed." "Steven Fischer" wrote in message news:UPBjh.515908$1T2.198836@pd7urf2no...
