Havent upgraded anything in my computer in months and am itchin to do so. Goin to Ebay my x800pro in exchange for This . Hope to get $125 on ebay for my x800. If so, about $75 bucks wouldnt be too bad for the upgrade A/R. What do you guys think??

I think that's a weak upgrade. You don't notice that much of a difference.


Granted, I did almost the exact same upgrade, 800 xl to x850 xt pe.


However, I just bought the x800 xl and within a week there was a deal for the x850xt pe for about $25 more. So I took the old one back and got the new one. Not a lot of difference in the cards, imho though. Maybe in games that are graphics intensive, but definitely not in CS.

Yeah I'm hopin for an increase in FPS on CSS of 15% or so. My x800 is runnin within an inch of its life right now and was thinking about upgrading the HSF anyways. (those fans are like $40) Id rather have a Zalman fan for it but that bigass one will do just fine.

thats a nice card. but there is no way you will get 15% higher fps. you might get 10 more fps. the diff between a 800 xl & a 7800gt is 30 to 40 fps in source. you can use that for a refrence.

15% or 10 more FPS. That would depend on how many I average now wouldnt it??

Save your money for later...this isn't going to be much of a jump...

Not much of a jump, but figured I might as well do it cuz I was planning on getting a better cooling system for my x800 anyways. Ima sell my x800 to my buddy too cuz he wants it which will save me the hassle of Ebaying it which is a bonus. BTW if anyone was looking at getting this its on monarch for $7 less. (I'm hopin the EGG will honor that deal as i already ordered it) $190 for this card is pretty good.
