Ok so i needed to upgrade my old machine for a while before i fully upgraded to a pci-e system, so i go on newegg and get this card a agp 9800pro 256mb card, refurbished. To be honest i am totally blown away.
The specs of this card aren't all thatt great, but for some strange and bizarre reason it performs better than the 6800gt 256mb card i used to own. I can run Hitman blood with full specs aa and af on full and no slow down, oblivion on medium to high specs moves great. EQ2 on high (games goes to ultra, so high is like med) runs great NFS black full specs, BF2 with everything on except AA. all in 1048x768 mind you.
I just cant believe that a 4 yr old v/card can perform like this, i just had to say something, so for anyone needing a new agp card that doesn't want to upgrade, i would strongly recommend getting one of these.
oh and the best part it was only $82.99.
Now i'm seriously looking at ATI again
