Upgrading ATI X1650Pro DDR2 512MB to ?????

[almichev]

Hello,

I am looking to upgrade the above card, my budget limit is £50. I've looked at the X1950PRO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 and ATI Radeon HD 2600XT 256MB GDDR3. Does anyone know if there would be a big difference between these cards and my X1650 please? Or are there any alternatives? I mainly use it for photo editing and HD watching.

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies folks. There are a lot of variations on cards out there, like the HD 3650 comes in 512mb DDR2 model or 256mb GDDR3. But is GDDR3 a massive improvement?

Does it make a difference which motherboard I'm using?

I have the Foxconn Winfast 6100m2ma. I've seen the Foxconn compatibility charts, but they're hardly comprehensive considering all the new cards coming out.
