Hi all,

Just gone onto ocuk's home page and seen this :eek:

Now I currently run a 128mb Radeon 9800PRO So it's getting on in the years and its the oldest part of my pc, and to be quite honest, the only thing deterring me from playing current games etc.

And I can't believe the price!

Someone convince me to buy it! :D

Meh it'll work in Vista :p All i'm concerned with now. And playing current games ofcourse :D

For DX10 games my whole pc will need upgrading anyway so think I'll spend half the 8800 and buy this instead :D

Easyrider's talking about the stripped down GTS - quite a bit cheaper than a standard GTS but with most of the performance! Should be around £200 or so!

The 1950pro is good though!

Absolutely up to you!

You will still be able to play dx 10 games just the specific dx10 features wont be available when playing them. Vista should be fine.

Remember he is after AGP btw lads.

Also about the striped down 8800, no official word i have seen saying this will actually happen as i believe its only rumours for now.

what's rest of your specs? it's a damn good card for agp but it will be bottlenecked if the rest of your pc is not upto scratch. also we need full details of what psu you have. wattage is not enough, also the brand/model and amperage on the 12v rail(s). :)
 
Ok rest of the pc specs

3.4Ghz P4 Northwood - 800FSB
2gb PC3200 Geil RAM
Abit IC7 MAX3 Motherboard
PSU - err off the top of my head is a Hyper 520W

Not sure of the model though, will have to check when I get home.

If it's not powerful enough it's an excuse to buy a more powerful modular PSU anyway :p

Agreed again, once these hit then all ATi's cards are all going to be worthless im afraid just like their x1950 XTX is now, ATi are out of it, they have nothign to compete, and wont have till about end March, beginning of April :(
