Upgrade for a X800 Pro

What is the best AGP card for £150-£200 currently?

Have a X800 but its proving to be the bottle neck on my pc

Cheers

I have an X850XTPE which is one of the fastest AGP you can buy. Nvidia 6800ultra oclocked are pretty good to, or 6800GT/GS. All should be within your budget now. I think the 7800GS is the leading agp card atm.

7800 GS+ is the fastest AGP card but its not far off £300 at the moment. 6800 GT might not be a bad bet, but not sure you'll see that much improvement over the x800. If you want to upgrade then get the 7800 GS+, otherwise I would hang onto what youve got rather than spend £150-£200. We might see a 7900 GT in AGP form (perhaps) but basically the 7800 GS+ is a 7900 GT core, underclocked so the only upgrade worth considering over what youve already got imo.
