I'm tempted to pick up one of the cheap X1950's that are available at the moment.

Would this be a worthwhile upgrade from my current X850XT?

Haven't upgraded in ages because I've been away travelling and console gaming since I got back..
 
yeh well worth it theres a huge dif in fps plus your X850XT only has pixel shader 2.0 (some new games wont work at all on it) and the x1950 has pixel shader 3.0

pixel shader 2.0 = dx 9

pixel shader 3.0 =dx 9c

some new games like colin mcrae dirt need pixel shader 3.0 and will not work on a card with pixel shader 2.0
