Default BFG 6800oc vs ATI X1600 pro AGP

Would there be much of an improvement in perfromance if I were to get a
X1600 pro video card to replace my bfg6800oc with pipes unlocked and
overclocked at 570 760

The X1600 Pro may have a few new things over the 6800, like Shader Model 3.0
and HD video.
(I'm using the X1600 Pro 256MB PCI-Exp. myself.)
But my guess is the 6800 series would have faster a frame rate.

Nope, don't even bother. The X1600 Pro is *slower* than a 6800 OC with pipes
unlocked and overclocked (essentially a 6800GT). The 6800 is already SM 3.0
capable, if I remember correctly, so there's no difference in feature set.

The only AGP card worth buying is the Gainward Bliss 7800GS+, which has the
7900GT core and is priced accordingly. You'll have to import from a UK-based
retailer like OCUK.
