Anybody have x1950Pro agp benchmarks?

[gimpycow]

Hello gang,

I currently have an XP2700+ paired with a 6800GS and 1GB of dual channel memory. I would like to try to extend the life of my pc for another 12-24 months and I am wondering if the x1950Pro card would do the trick. Specifically, I would love to see a Raven Shield Vegas benchmark with the x1950Pro agp card and even better yet, with a slower cpu like mine. I want to see if my system could play the game at 800x600 or 1024x768 in HIGH DETAIL with an avg of 25+ FPS. If it could, then it is likely my system would be good for games using the Unreal 3 engine and it might be able to handle Crysis as well. If not, then it looks like I will need to get a new system this year. I would like to wait until quad core comes down in price and the bugs are worked out of Vista.

Thanks in advance for any benchmarks you have!

I have the Diamond 512 mb x1950pro AGP (got it from newegg).

I have a few benchmarks for you:

System Specs:
Athlon 64 3000+ Newcastle @ 2.0ghz
Asus K8V SE Deluxe
2x 1gb Corsair XMS 3200-pc2 @ 400Mhz 2-3-3-6 Bank Interleaving @ 4
*Rosewill 400watt PS with 15a on +12v1 and 14a on +12v2 rails.

*(Not even minimum spec for the card, but Was the minumun the card would
run stable with. In other words get a good PS)

Fear performance test:

EVERYTHING COMPLETELY MAXED @ 1024x768 (PC settings such as physics, all options on highest)

Minimum: 25fps
Average: 69fps
MAXIMUM: 168fps!!

0% below 25fps!!!!



RB6 Vegas:

Dont have FRAPS yet, but it is FULLY PLAYABLE at 1024x768 WITH ALL SETTINGS
ON VERY HIGH (shadows, shaders, HDR on. Awesome game BTW, worth getting an upgrade card by itself)




3dmark06 (default trial settings and tests):

4007 3dmarks! Not Half bad if I do say so myself. This pc is over three years old.
$299 upgrade ONE TIME and its back in the game!

BTW, this was all using a fresh XP Pro SP2 install with CCC 7.1

Saweet and thanks! I have a 500W Antec PS so I think I should be fine with only 1 hard drive. My experience should be similar to yours. I realize my cpu will be a bottleneck but I don't care if the new card can still play the unreal engine games and crysis at decent levels and 25+ FPS. Might as well hold onto the old girl as long as I can then I get the most bang for the buck when I do decide to upgrade.

I guess the plan will be to wait until the x1950Pro comes down a bit in price (risky probably) and try to sell my 6800GS.

If anyone else has any benchmarks, please post em!

It's Toms, but they use an Old Barton 2500
