Anyone need a PCI-E or wants to trade off a nice AGP?

Well a long while back I bought a Radeon X1600 for my computer. A couple months ago I bought a 256MB XFX-6800GS for my GF's computer on Tigerdirect because it had a 50.00 mail in rebate. Well the mail-in rebate was never to be found online so I missed out on that. I was going to return it because of that, but I was too lazy to ever contact them and see about getting it sent back. So here it's sat for a couple months unopened.

Tonight, I go to install it, because I might as well not have it go to waste, and I find out her computer has an AGP interface! Sunny-beaches. How did I miss that when I ordered this thing!?

If anyone wants one of them, let me know. I'd like to put the 6800GS in my computer just to see if it outperforms the X1600.

I am actually in the process of building a new computer.

I have an ATI X1300 AGP card for trade

I'll have to check with my C&C3 game to see if that's on my list of cards that do not work. I know it lists a few and I was thinking the X1300 was one of them, but I could be wrong. How fast is it though with that DDR memory, or did you mean DDR2, because mine has DDR3.

It is indeed DDR.

I was able to play WoW with almost all the eye candy on and maintain ~50fps on intense battle scenes.

I was at my parents all weekend and their cable modem went out. After playing C&C3 with some new maps, I had to turn my graphics down even more! (x1300, 256MB DDR2, not the x1600 as I stated incorrectly earlier) so next weekend I'm going to swap out cards and try out this 6800GS and see if the DDR3 memory helps at all. If it works like a champ, I'll get rid of my X1300, but I don't anticipate too much of a change. I mean hell, it's a 6800 and not an 8800.

I'd have to check out the stats on that card. I know nothing about it.

Alright, I like the 6800gs better than the x1300. If anyone wants to trade or wants a PCIe card cheap, let me know.
