Help with upgrade

[Artic7]

I`m currently using a ATI x1950 pro agp(512mb) on a Asrock vsta board which also has a pci graphics slot
It`s just i`m having problems at the moment with the Ati agp drivers as there is apparent lack of support for agp cards after driver version 7.7.
Would upgrading to the pci version of the x1950 pro be any better,I.E performance wise and also driver issues.
Thanks
Steve

I don't think thats worth the hassle really. Sell the AGP x1950pro and buy a pci-e 3850pro. You will probably have to put about £30 towards it from selling the old card

Driver support is by far better with PCI-e cards right now. Like the mame said, sell the agp card and get a HD3850, preferably the 512mb version.

will a 460 Akasa psu be enough for this card?
thanks for your help

Yes

You won't see a performance increase really, but you will be future proofed for using PCI-E because it seems that PCI-E is going to be whats used in the forseable future and beyond

He'll see a big increase with the 3850.
