I'm thinking of replacing my 9600 Pro 128MB AIW with
a X700 256MB, to play Halo.
How much of a performance boost will I get with the X700?

If your looking to go with an AGP card as opposed to replacing
the mainboard, CPU, and possibly memory as well for a PCI-E, I'd get
an Nvidia 6600GT. The 6600GT beats out the X700Pro, and cost less than
the X700Pro AGP.
 
Hi Tod,
I have a 9800 Pro/128 with a P4C 2.8GHz, 1GB OCZ PC4000 RAM. My 3DMark06
score is 680 :-( (More like a slide show) I'm considering a vid card
upgrade. Please let us know what kind of a performance boost you saw with
the X700.
 
I will post the performance.
But If I was you I would wait until you could get the X1600 256MB AGP.
They are currently at Newegg for $140.
Both the 9800 Pro and X700 have 8 pipelines.
The X700 has some improvements over the 9800...but.
the 9800 has the 256 bit memory access, while the X700 is only 128.
The X1600 has 12 pipelines and the new HD video support.
And as soon as more companies come out with the X1600 AGP
the price on them should drop a bit.

Hi ed the 9800pro is like a x700pro 256 but it is most likly the
x700pro that will erformer better in bigger game with all the detail
on.

but a 6600 GT OC from BFG could beat the x700pro. Or equal the
x700XT.

WOW the 1600 are crap and is near the performence my x800 128mb.

upgrading from a x700pro or a x800 series card should get you to the
x1800 series card like the (XL) one.

We just have to wait for the price to drop like 50% and it will worth
the spend...
 
X700 is a step back from a 9800 pro.(been there, done that) I would skip
the x700 series and try to find some x800 series for a decent price
perhaps used off ebay. I would also skip the x1xxx series.With that
series, It seems that anything worthwhile is priced high and anything
priced low is crap. They are charging higher prices for a bunch of
features that nobody really needs on a card that actually performs less
than a similarly priced x800 card. I think x800 has the best price
performance ratio right now.

Not true i'va been there too.
also go to the ati compare web page and you will see.

9800pro as 256bit od ddr1 old technologie
x700pro as 128bit of GDDR3 witch is 2 time faster than ddr1 at least
so it is equal for both card.

Ad yes to get a good upgrade people should go for the x800 one. msi
does a good card with it's x800-td 128mb pci-e witch score 3900 in
3dmark05 vs 3000 with the x700pro/vivo vs 2400 with the 9800pro with
the drive 6.1 and lower.

And even better the x800xl will come cheaper by the time and will be
the next card to get for budget people like me :) they are known to
have 16pipeline unlocked so in 3dmark05 it will score near 5000 point.


At future shop they are at 320$

Ha, you read my mind. My x800xl 256 agp built by ati card is in the mail
as we speak. $140 (us) shipped off of ebay. And I was speaking of the
x700 card not the pro version. Im a budget guy too, or as some people
call it, cheap!!!!
