TweakTown has issued a comparison of modern AGP graphics cards that covers mainstream and high end products, starting from ATI’s RADEON X700 PRO and NVIDIA’s GeForce 6600 GT all the way up to ATI RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition as well as NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra. Offerings from ATI and NVIDIA were compared in terms of performance and price criteria.

In total, the web-site compared 6 graphics cards in 5 benchmarks, including Futuremark’s 3DMark 2001SE, 3DMark03, 3DMark05 as well as in Doom III, FarCry and Half-Life 2 games.

“The eight major AGP graphics cards currently on the market compared ranging from the extremely value packed 6600GT to the expensive yet high performing X850XT Platinum Edition. If you are into high resolution gaming at around 1600x1200, we would recommend that you don’t look past any of the High End Performance cards here today but if you’re running an LCD with a resolution of no higher then 1280 x 1024 and like to place on a little bit of eye candy, the Mid Range cards are what you should be looking at,” concludes TweakTown.
