Upgrade from X800XL to 8800GTS 320 OC

Hi

i've just treated myself to the EVGA 8800GTS 320 OverClocked. I'm upgrading
from an Ati X800XL running on an Asus A8N-E and AMD 4200+ Dual Core.

My new card should arrive on Friday.

Anyone else done this upgrade and can tell me what kind of performance
increase I may see ?

Cheers

Yet another ATi devotee lost due to ATi's inept bungling with their
Dx10 hardware releases. nVidia partners to date have sold over 500,000
88xx-series graphics cards. And these cards have the highest
profit-margins of any consumer graphics cards currently sold. Must
make both nVidia and their board partners very happy.

Excuse me but just who you think you are ? Yes your obviously a Fan Boy of
the worst kind..... You are, sir, in fact totally wrong. I've always had
Nvidia cards but not through any misplaced brand worship.

In fact the reason I had an X800 is due to my 6800GT going tits up and a
mate giving me his x800 to keep me going for a while.

The only reason it's an 8800GTS I'm buying is it's the fastest card I can
afford at the moment. I've no intention of migrating to Vista or DX10 in the
forseable future.

I suggest you try to get your facts right before you involve others in your
self rightous crusade against Ati you sad git.

I just took an identical upgrade path, last week - ATi x800xl to BFG 8800
GTS OC. You're in for a real treat.

Here are my before and after 3DMark06 scores, in Vista:

x800xl: 1905
8800 GTS: 9135

I recently went from a Radeon X850XT, to a BFG 8800 GTS 640 mb (
overclocked), app a week ago,and have been extremely pleased.
My 3d mark 05 score basically doubled, and performance in the games I have
tried is very good.

Does this mean 88xx-series graphics cards are heavily overpriced? :-)
