March 12, 200719 yr Hey guys,Im about to get a X1600pro 256mb PCI-express, but im not really sure if its worth it? if so how much better in terms of performance is it regarding the 9800pro ? I wont buy it until I get some feedback from you guys, thanks for your time.Rgs!P4 3.01.0gb pc32009800proWin XP
March 13, 200719 yr It's not worth it. You'll get some minor improvement, for sure, but barely. . .The 9800 was the top end of the older ATI cards and the 1600 is the bottom of the new cards; besides - as both MS flight sims are processor intensive, so I believe the biggest bang for the buck will be from a better proc, and then move to a DX10 compliant gpu down the road. i7 [email protected] | 32GB RAM | EVGA RTX 3080Ti | Maximus Hero VII | 512GB 860 Pro | 512GB 850 Pro | 256GB 840 Pro | 2TB 860 QVO | 1TB 870 EVO | Seagate 3TB Cloud | EVGA 1000 GQ | Win10 Pro | EK Custom water cooling.
March 13, 200719 yr Paul J. is right.The old 9800, exp. the xt, is doing far better than newer ati cards.As he also says between the lines is, a good idea is to wait a little to see what comes up.
