Will an ATI X1550 512 be an upgrade from a 6800GT? Will be playing BF2 on it and want to know if it will make much of a difference?

Cheers
 
Whats the stats of the two cards. My first guess would be hell no

The GT was and still is good where as a newer card like that is probably cheap for them to make due to a new small dye size, low power requirements and heat output and possibly passive or low noise.
Usually its highly featured but severely restricted in essential ways

Typically this results in very poor performance in high stress situations like high res, etc a bit like how onboard gfx turns out
 
Thought this was the case, got given the x1550, and was going to pass it onto a mate who wants to upgrade - had a 7800GTX for him until I remembered he was AGP!
