    the x800GTO is mroe powerful than the x1600...


    my advice...

    http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/

    see if you can unlock your X800GTO to an x850XT for an instant 30% performance boost...

    Merged Post:

    the 7900GSes were never 80 bucks, if there were I'd have gotten one instead of my 7600...

    long story short... 7900GS at 80$ is a steal...

    not really, it's an entry level card and his current card is more powerful than it.

    i don't remember correctly, what was the topic you posted about a card being $79? must have been the 7600, then.

    yes, I was referring to the 7600GT which is a fair amount better than a x1600. It's on par with an x850XT PE
