Yeah, get a good 7600GT and overclock it well beyond 7800GS.

I'm going to upgrade from my 6800GT AGP to a X1950PRO AGP, and I would recommend that card for you to, X1950PRO is the absolute best AGP card on the market right now.

Yes, Unfortunately you won't be able to get your hands on that card for another century, besides the fact that the price alone justifies tossing your AGP rig out the window and upgrading to PCI-E.

He might have to buy a new chip, if he has a Socket 478 P4 for example, it may prove rather hard to get a board that has a PCI-E slot and s478. Regarding the original question, 7600 GT is superior so I'd get that card.

Many stores here in Sweden got the card , so it's easy to get. If I would upgrade to PCI-E it would cost alot more money, because then I would have to buy new motherboard, cpu and ram.
So buying a X1950Pro is the best option for me!

Yeah thats what im saying, your paying a premium for a graphics card using an aging interface. Not only is the hardware around the video card a huge bottleneck as it is with that card but your in my eyes making no progress.
The benchmarks show it scoring 6000 in 3Dmark05, thats what my X850XT-PE scored with my AGP rig, so what your paying a fortune for is a X850XT + SM3 + 5-10% performance increase.
All im suggesting is save up your money and ditch the entire AGP rig instead of trying to milk it as long as you can with a single component that keeps getting upgraded. Also it was my misunderstanding that your from Sweden so availability and pricing is probably much different then here in the states.

Your wrong, Gecube X1950Pro 256Mb is scoring about 7500 points in 3Dmark05 and that's when the card is not overclocked. My computer will last 1-2 years longer with this card.

Ok cool, but with the average garbage S478 Northwood most AGP users have, No. I was running a P4 506 OC'd to 3.8Ghz with my 1900XT and it had me so bottlenecked that my 05 score was 6900 not to mention how low the minimum framterate was in a lot of games.
Im not arguing with you, grab your card. Have fun and play some games.
