Graphics Card Comparison

Why hello Vdr!

Its been a long time, way to long, and I'm afriad I've fallen behind on the hardware times. Been stuck in networking :p

So anyways, time for a PC upgrade, inc Graphics card.

I had a 9200SE which was poor for playing games, so I bought a refurb 9800Pro.

It was fantastic until it started crashing every so often.

So now I have ordered the X1300. Without really researching it (shame on me) (price was right) but I want to know, how much better/worse is this card to the 9800Pro and how will it affect gaming performance?

From this page http://apps.ati.com/ATIcompare/ (Click X1300 and 9800 Pro 128)

Specifications - worried about Memory Interface/Pipelines/Pixel Fillrate

Its seems on those sections, the 9800Pro is better, but how does that all relate taking into account other variables as well?

Thanks in advance

Hong

Actually its the X1300Pro I ordered...

and the motherboard will be a Gigabyte GA-K8NF9-RH

Don't think you will like what the charts are showing.

Might want to take in this interactive performance comparison.

Fair enough!

I wouldn't personally go for a X1300 either Hong, ATI are trying to blind you with large numbers, to make you assume the X1300 would be better than the X800 for example, and it isn't. Example: http://apps.ati.com/ATIcompare/result.asp 4 x the PS and Pipes.

What's your budget for a graphics card? PCI-E? ATI only?

I opted for the Pci-en7600gt Silent/2dht/256m Ddr Pci-e Geforce 7600gt instead - benches better. ^^

Cool, it has half the pipes, and half the VP's of the 7900GT, BUT faster clocks. What make is it?


Liam

My Radeon 7000 ve is rubbish! I need a new one for sure if i want to play f=games on the net :P

Its the Asus one.

But this is over my budget anyway and iv got it now so it'll have to do...but how does this rate to the 9800 Pro?

It kills the 9800 Pro on memory clock and pipes alone.

Sweet thanks Liam.

You're Welcome. :)
