Hi,

x1950xt, for example this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814241049
You will most likely need a new power supply as well.

cool, do you think this is a good place to buy http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GeCube-ATI-Rad...QQcmdZViewItem

it looks considerably better than my 6800 xt - would i be right? i have a 460w (500 peak) power at the mo, whats this in amps? is it OK?

I have no idea if that seller is reliable.

You will need a quality 550W PSU or more. Something like this: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/114931
I would get the 650W version. It's only £8 more.

A pro, not an xt: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...tml?HIS-1950PA

£5 cheaper:

It's the same card just a different chassis, better in my opinion if your case is small. I had the 256mb version (on Ebay for £50

) and it was great.

well im finally going to get a new agp, x1950 pro still the best?

**emosun** · 11-18-2008, 08:29 AM

It used to be. The 3850 agp is now the best. But will require a good quality 550 to 600 watt powersupply.Quality brands include antec's trio , thermaltakes toughpower , corsair , pc power and cooling , coolermaster , or silverstone.
