Radeon x1950pro AGP 512MB equivalent...

I'd really like to know which Geforce (on AGP) would be similar (in performance) to the card in the title?
Thanks in advance.

7800GS probably.

Although you can get the HD 3850 on AGP, then your talking about AMD having something twice as fast compared with any NVIDIA AGP GPU.

The HD38XX is their top of the range graphic cards at the moment excluding the X2. when was the last time NVIDIA released any performance graphic cards? 7800 series comes to mind, other than that they've only been releasing the stupid budget 8600/400.

Choice would seem obvious to me.

actually, the best NVIDIA card is the 7950GT. but AFAIK, the only company that created such a gadet is XFX. all other companies stuck to just the 7800GS.

Hmm, I guess you are talking about AGP only cards, right?

I didn't know that Nvidia stopped making AGP cards. IF that is the case, then sure go for the AMD one, but it also depends on the rest of the components.

yea, NVIDIA isn't really pushing for a high end AGP market anymore. more so mid-ranged cards at best.

but krvolok, what kind of system specs do you have? If you have a good gfx card, but poor CPU performance, your new gfx card would be bottlnecked.

as for my system (listed in my system specs), my x1950pro is really the best card out there for it.

there is 1 card more powerful than the x1950PRO man, not the 7800GS, there is a 7950GT AGP made by XFX but its hard to come by, not sure if newegg still carries it. but then again, the ATi HD 3850 destroys all of nvidia's AGP offerings.

i checked newegg's website when i made my last post regarding XFX's 7950GT AGP card, and they no longer carry it.

but, the thing about the 3850 though, is CPU limitation. what is the CPU being used currently? if it's anything less than a s939 3700+ or a heavily OCed s478 intel CPU then it really won't be worth it.
