X1600 PCIe

[bobby9101]

Hi, I currently have an X700 PRO, and am looking to upgrade.
I play america's army and use photoshop a lot.
i was wondering if this was a good choice.
I am stuck with PCIe not AGP.
Thanks, Bobby

If your really wanting to get a Built By Ati, I would go with Newegg

that wasn't really my Question, my question was if it was a good card

I have a Gigabyte X1600 in my secondary system and it works great. Should perform better than the X700, but not necessarily by a huge ammount. 2D quality should be the same for either one, but the X1600 will have the video acceleration and will probably get more driver updates and optimizations. You can find one a lot cheaper than your link if you shop around (newegg, zipzoomfly).

there is hardly any point of upgrading. i would go for a x1950pro or a 1950gt because that is where you will see a decent perfromace increase to justify upgrading the graphics card
