Graphics Card Comparison

**hongman** · October 23rd, 2006, 08:34 AM

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

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

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?

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

**hongman** · October 26th, 2006, 04:34 AM

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?

**liam858** · October 26th, 2006, 01:04 PM

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