Hi all-I would like to know if anyone has a recommendation for replacing my ATI 9800 Radeon Pro 128mb card? I'd like to stay with ATI as I've had no problems with my current setup. Specs are Dell 8300 w/3.4ghz Pentium.Thanks!Mark

And IMHO, it wouldn't make sense if you're @ 1024x or lower.

It really depends on how much you want to spend. I upgraded from the 9800 to a x800pro and FS looks great. It's driving a 23" flat panel monitor at 1920@1200 resolution. By today's standard the x800 is a mid to lower range card in ATI land. Go with a card that has 16 pipes though so that would be at least an 800XT. I'm waiting a bit longer for the 1900s to come down a bit which shouldn't be far down the road.Newegg.com is a great place to scope out the cards.Dave

get the new 7800 GS (its AGP!!!). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814150129

As far as the 78 thats an nVidia (good card anyway),but he wants to stay ATI. Depending on your budget ofcourse and graphics slot AGP or PCI-e. anyway maybe this will help you along, its an overview of various ATI cards now on the market http://www.digital-daily.com/video/

I would go with an X850XT If you can find one at a decent price. I went from a 9800 to the ATI X800XL and I have been really happy. Runs everything very well and it still is a good card. The latest ATI offerings actually are very little improvement until you get to the 1900 series. I still am on AGP here and If I do upgrade it will be to the X850 card. The 7800GS is a good card also, your choices will be limited by the AGP requirement. Time to upgrade the system this summer I think.Hornit

I have a similar system: Dell 8300, 3.4ghz, 1gb ram, ati 9800 pro. I recently upgraded to a x850xt. Unfortunately my screen res is limited to 1024 so the improvement in graphics and performance was minimal, certainly not worth the cost of upgrade. I will be returning the card.Andre
