Quoted:
You guys are high.

The best AGP video card is the ATI x850XTPE.

I bought an x850pro and flashed it to an x850xtpe.

The x850pro was $220.
The x850xtpe is like a $400 card.

Can you do that with a nvidia?

Nope.

I'm scoring 6500 in 3dmark05, (assuming you're using the same processor as me) you won't see those numbers with any agp nvidia card.

Just to show you my non-bias, if I was going to buy a PCI-E card it would be the 7800gt.

I also don't understand why eveyone always says "ATI drivers suck".
I've been using ati and nvidia back and forth over the years and I've never had a driver issue on both.

Saying "ati drivers sucks" is equal to saying "amd's suck vs intel's". It's some old wivestale that was brewed up years ago and for some reason it has always followed them in the eyes of the bias nvidia lovers.

They BOTH go back and forth making the best cards.

Work warranty tech support for both products - count how many Migrains ATi has given you vrs Nvidia... the difference becomes crystal clear.
