My dad told me "Unofficial" (Not sure yet) that I mite give me 90 to 100 Dollors for X-Mas and I wanted to get a newer video card if I didn't get a free one.

So I saw this ad in the Buysell and there was on for the X800GTO Fireblade 256MB PCI-E for 100, but when I phoned him he told me he will cut it down to 90. So I was like I'll think about it etc. So should I get it? does this card only support SH2.0 that limit's me on games?

Lookes very decent for $90.00 CAD.

I think you can unlock it to X850XT pipelines.

Its good card for $90 CAD and You can unlock/flash it to X850XT

I will find the link

Yes, that card only supports Shader Model 2.0. That will make it so you cannot enable HDR in many games and some shadowing effects. It will be a huge upgrade over your current card. New on Newegg that card is about $100 and you can get an open box one for $82. That is in USD so that is a good very good deal for 90 CAD.

Last question:
I came from a X1600pro to 6100 Onboard. The X1600Pro only played 800x600 On max settings on Fear so im not sure if this card will do better or will it?

I would suggest getting a beefed up X1600. Try to scrape xtra cash. a new 1600 would last longer than an X800-X850. the one i have i paid $180 for, but they have ones that are similar but the diff is gddr2 instead of gddr3

Well if you can find a X1650Pro in the lowermain land in B.C than i'll buy it. I want something better than 6100 onboard since im a gamer

also note:

I did some extensive research on these cards and the gto2 is the best of the best in the time it was released....here is a direct comparison..

i suggest you get enough money for an 7600GT. it beats the X800Gto, and has SM3, and overclocks like MAD.
