    which card shouldi get?

    im still on the AGP side and my 9800 pro is aging...
    three cards that i believe that will provide me the best performance which are:
    BFG GeForce 6800 GS OC 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (AGP) - Retail (GX-013-BG)
    PowerColor ATI Radeon X850 XT 256MB DDR3 VIVO TV-Out/DVI (AGP) - Retail (GX-058-PC)
    or a 6800gt of some sort

    my question is which will be the best for me?

    I was going to get the X850XT, but then I bought a new pci-e mobo (£30) for socket 478, hiper type-r psu - and now (installed yesturday) I can then get a 7900GT! It it worth cosidering doing that!
    X850 would be my choice out of those! The powercolor from ebuyer! Go for it if you want to stick with agp!
