    2600Pro vs 8500GT vs 1950GT

    I have just aquired a Gigabyte 512MB 2600Pro. Is it worth swapping with either the 256MB 8500GT in my HTPC or the 256MB 1950GT in my wifes PC, or should I flog it on eBay? It's worth pointing out that the HTPC works fine, so I don't want any hassle factor unless the benefits are really worth it.

    If it's for gaming this is how I would rate it in order from best to worse:

    1950gt
    2600pro
    8500GT
    Cavalier-X: Biostar TP45-HP ¦ E4600@3.1ghz - Xigmatek Red Scorpion (OCZ Freeze) ¦ OCZ ReaperX 2x2gb (792mhz @ 4-4-4--12) ¦ Xigmatek NRP-MC651 ¦
    Palit 8800gt ¦ X-fi Fatal1ty Gamer ¦ Coolermaster Cavalier 3 (Silver/Windowed) ¦
    Poseidon Magma: MSI P45 Zilent ¦ E6300@3.0ghz - Coolermaster Hyper 212 (MX-2) ¦ Corsair 2x2gb (880mhz @ 5-5-5-15) ¦ Corsair HX450w ¦
    xfx 9600gt Alphadog edition (780/1950/1000) ¦ X-fi Gamer ¦ Gigabyte Poseiden ¦

    The ATi's are supposed to be good for media stuff though. I say stick the quietest in the HTPC
