Salvation!!!

ok i have a XGI Volari V8

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814270005

and im hating it, it would be useful for maybe stuff like 3DSMAX

SO my buddy who was there when i got my XGI card and saw the good reviews it was getting, anyway hes building up a server and decided to ask me for my card in exchange he'll give me his, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102320

may seem like a downgrade but its not... Its alot better than my XGI piece of crap.

I really wouldn't call it a down grade, at least now you can play your games bug free!

i would rather sell the card and buy a new one. radeon 9600 is waste. so there i suggest selling it and buying atleast a 6600gt.

Don't be mistaken... the Volarie DualCore is very good! it can definatly keep up with the 9800XT wth no problem, it has alot of power in it...

PROBLEM: The Volarie drivers for they're card suck thuse making the card as good as a Voodoo3 on a new XP board :-\

Don't under-estimate the 9600 my friend, it is a very good card, but getting the normal 9600 is not so wise. add just a few buck and you'll get the 9600XT wich is far better, and still cheaper than the 6600GT...

Though personally, id'e add those 70$ and get the 6600GT
