X1300 Pro vs X1600 Pro

[DietSoap]

I'm on a tight budget, so I just wanna know how well each can perform Source games. Thanks in advance.

It's because of the CPU limitations.

Well you are CPU limited at that point. hehe

Wow, thanks. I was heavily leaning towards the X1300 Pro, considering the $99 price tag at my local BestBuy...

But considering how much bigger the difference is than I thought, it seems I'm gonna spend the $200 on the X1600 Pro.

200$ for a X1600pro, ouch.

If you order online you can get a lot lower prices and more selection.

I was looking at an AGP x1600 Pro that had 512mb, so that's probably why.

But at the same time, does that extra really even help that much, or no?

512MB really only helps with highend cards and at high resolutions in certain games. 512mb vs 256mb doesn't make any difference with midrange and lower cards. They are not powerful enough to take advantage of it.

Okay, thanks. I'm now awaiting that package from newegg. Thanks again.
