    Hi all,

    I have a connect3d 9600xt atm and looks like it's gonna die on me and thinking of upgrading it. obviously it has to be agp.

    thinking of getting either an 6600gt or x1600 pro, from my research the price is similar (€100-150) but most reviews i've read shows that the x1600 pro is not performing well. but i do like the features on the x1600 pro

    anyway any suggestions on these or any other recommendations. my budget is around €100-150 including postage if online.

    cheers

    6800XT for €159 +p&p? *edit* <at Komplett

    Other than that, an x1600pro's not bad, but it won't set your world alight...

    You can always use a DVI-to-VGA converter; there's usually one included in the box.

    i'd advise gettin an X800 series card for £90 from www.lowestonweb.com it'd be better then either of those i'd say but around the same price
