X850 pro a good choice?

[Atomsmasher544]

I recently ordered a 7600GT AGP as a temp replacement for my 9800 pro and I ended up getting a bad card and had to RMA it. New egg doesn't have anymore AGP 7600GTs in stock anymore, so I'm basically left with getting either a 7600 GS, x1600 pro, or x850 pro. I found this x850 pro with GDDR3 thats a pretty good price. Which of these would be the closest in terms of performance to that 7600GT, because it gave me a pretty drastic performance boost over the 9800 pro.

The x850pro would be the fastest out of the 3 choices, although not quite as fast as the 7600gt. But because it's a VIVO model, it may unlock to 16 pipes, and with a mild OC it would be the same as a x800xt, which is overall even with a 7600gt in performance.

Another question would be, are there any better AGP cards besides the ones I listed, that they still sell

I would go with the X850 Pro....What games do you play ? Base on this http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=58&card2=382 I would say the Pro is better than the GS. But that's just my opinion.

Company of Heroes, Dawn of War, and some other random Doom 3/source engine games. In a few weeks Dark Messiah and Neverwinter Nights 2.

7800 GS is more than I want to spend, trying to keep it under $200
