Trying to sort out worst to best.

Unfortunately, my 9800 Pro burned out...

But this is the order I came up with:

mfg: Series: GPU: Release Date: Interface: Memory Core Clock: Memory Clock: Memory Bandwidth: Shader Operations: Pixel Fill Rate: Texture Fill Rate: Vertex Operations:
3dfx VooDoo 3500TV Avenger 7/30/1999 AGP 2X 16MB 183 MHz 183 MHz 2.928 GB/sec 183 MOperations/sec 183 MPixels/sec 366 MTexels/sec 0 MVertices/sec
nVidia GeForce 2 NV11 3/6/2001 PCI 32MB 200 MHz 166 MHz 2.656 GB/sec 400 MOperations/sec 400 MPixels/sec 800 MTexels/sec 0 MVertices/sec
nVidia GeForce FX5600 Ultra NV31 3/6/2003 AGP 8X 128MB 350 MHz 350 MHz (700 DDR) 11.2 GB/sec 1400 MOperations/sec 1400 MPixels/sec 1400 MTexels/sec ? MVertices/sec
nVidia GeForce 7300GT G73 + HSI 0000-00-00 AGP 8X 512MB 350 MHz 325 MHz (650 DDR) 10.4 GB/sec 2800 MOperations/sec 1400 MPixels/sec 2800 MTexels/sec 437.5 MVertices/sec
ATi AIW 9800Pro R350 4/7/2003 AGP 8X 128MB 380 MHz 340 MHz (680 DDR) 21.76 GB/sec 3040 MOperations/sec 3040 MPixels/sec 3040 MTexels/sec 380 MVertices/sec
ATi Radeon AIW HD 3650 RV635 7/31/2008 PCI-E 2.0 x16 512MB 725 MHz 600 MHz (1200 DDR) 19.2 GB/sec 174 GFLOPS 2900 MPixels/sec 5800 MTexels/sec

Looks about right to me. :)

If that were a higher end 7xxx series card it would stomp on the 9800pro. But being a lowly 7300 it can't hold up to the raw power of the 9800pro.

ya want a list then here it is http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88&pgno=0 and go here to see it all but the very very best AGP is the ATI 3850 agp

Well, poop on me! I so hate that my 9800Pro burnt out :(

I also thought that the 9300GT would be an upgrade, I mean, 4 times the ram...??? Well, it was kinda cheap, like $40...

I almost went for the 9800GS OC edition, but for $100?

Ram doesn't mean a thing if there is no processing power behind it. ;) The 9300 is a very low end card.

You should be able to easily get a card under a $100 that will smoke your 9800pro. It was a great card in its time, but its time was loooooonnnnnggggg ago. How much you spend just depends on what you want to do with it.

Just popping in a comparison of high end AGP cards.

execpt for the fact that the 3850 has a 256 interface while the 4670 has 128 bit................bottleneck there and in benchmarks the 3850 beats it hands down but with the newer tecknology the 4670 keeps up and they both play games about the same...........

both have 320 streams but no matter as the CPU will bottleneck andyways so no gain past the CPU............lol game on
