no busking sunshine

ok deal mind you, you would need a powerstation to run it tho

how much of a performance increase will I see over the 1950 if I was to get one?

3850 is double the power of 1950 mate

Good stuff.

 

[phatboy]

i am so very tempted to upgrade to one, or even 2 lol

 

[Snapper^]

is it really double the performace of 1950??

i should see a bit of an improvement with mine then where it arrives anyway

7900gs 256mb > 3850 512mb

It varies from title to title...its anywhere from 40%-100% faster than a 1950pro depending upon the game.

3850 is the obviouse choice

i do have a quick question though what fps were you getting with your x800 as i have an x800xt @ 550/560 in 3D and am thinking about getting ut3 at some point.

also info on your cpu if overclocked would be good to compare against my own system.

also wondering if a 512mb card would be of use in ut3 @ 1280/1024 or 1600/1200

It never occurred to me till now, but my motherboard is just pci-e 1.0. It's a GA-K8NXP-9. I'm seeing these 3850 cards are pci-e 2.0.

It's backwards compatible....it will work fine.
