I am considering upgrading my 9700 PRO for a 9800XT. This would, even after
selling my 9700 PRO be an expensive upgrade. My question is, have any of
you actually made this switch and was it worth it? I really like the image
quality of the 9700pro when all the settings are maxed, but it does drag
just a bit in Battlefield 1942. My system is

PIV 2.6ghz
1.0 GIG PC1066 RAM
17'' gaming LCD
Audigy 2
Dual Optical Mouse
9700 PRO

In general I try to wait for the performance to be twice as good before I
upgrade, but my 9700 PRO will only decrease in value as time goes on...any
thoughts on the subject?

Try Google. This topic was just discussed, last week (concerning
9700np---9800XT).

Would one link to the homepage not suffice? I notice you don't actually
have that as a sig, either.

I don't think B1942 runs well on any ATI card. Even if you turn down settings you
still risk menu corruption when you pop out of a game. Shame because it's
probably the best game ever made.

BS, it works very well on my 9700 Pro.

Not played BF1942, but Call of Duty is pretty cool.

Man, i have a 9700, P4 , no lag whatsoever, using 2x FSAA... Maybe
something else is the matter with yr system... Flashing icons in the system
tray or sth?

I agree. 1942 runs fantastic with my 9700PRO, I was just wondering if a
9800xt would be that much better..

JG

It is an expensive upgrade. I thought it was worth it though. The 9800
XT will put out the same graphics as a 9600 Pro or 9600 ZT, but at a
faster frame rate. Unless you just wanna be able to say you have a 9800
XT don't upgrade yet. Wait for the price to drop a bit first. But if
you do upgrade and do it before christmas you'll get a free copy of half
life 2!
