Pre-8800 card

is that AGP or PCI-x?
if its PCI-x the only card your gonna get new that would even be worth the upgrade for 150 or less is a 7900GS...
if its AGP then your only option would be the x1950pro AGP that comes out very soon and thats more than 150... a 7600 wouldn't be a worthwhile upgrade for a 6800.

PCI-x ??
To the OP, have a look round for a 7900GTO or an X1950XT. Unless its AGP then maybe a X1950 Pro? I'd save the money for a 8800GTS.

If you know the difference then don't make the mistake. It gets on my nerves when people can't get their facts straight. A pointless distinction, lmao, hardly.Rroff said:

To be fair to Rroff, forno does seem to acting like an elitist ***** to him in most threads.
Didn't realise it was still in use, this is quite a loong article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI-X

I tend to use PCI-X as most GPUs come with either AGP or PCX on the box/marketting and more people seem to recognise what I'm talking about when I say it than when I say pci-e or pci-express...
I get pulled up on it every other day in IRC... was amusing at first but now its getting tiresome so I guess I'll just use PCX and have done with it...

Trouble is PCX is a graphics file format.
Oh damn, elitist comment.
At risk of being sworn at again, I'm just pointing out the designers call it PCIe. Please also note, PCI-X is very much a current standard. Hence my asking.

Best not use PCI-X/PCX at all just serves to confuse you and others. Although PCI-X and PCI-E when spoken sound very similiar they are vastly different.
