Ok. Easy one here. It is my personal opinion here that the X800 series is better than all X1000 series GPU's except for X1800 and higher. Even just being my opinion it is definitely true on this one. The X1600Pro is an ok card but you would definitely be better off with the X800GTO(see my sig):P The X1600Pros have almost no driver support so in some games they take a dive. CoD2 is absolutely horrible on an X1600Pro as it constantly gets speeds of 4 to 12 frames per second on the lowest settings on 800x600. My X800GTO gets constant speeds of 50fps or more on highest detail settings at 1024x768.
Shader model 3.0 does yield a small performance increase but it is useless on the X1600 series as they have sub par performence no matter what. The X8xx series is top-notch.
To make it short... X800GTO fo' sho'.

Basically an x1600 pro is the equivalent of an x700 pro except it has SM3 support. However, the x1600 pro even with the 512MB frame buffer is not going to be enough to utilize next gen graphics or HDR unless if you use low resolutions.
The x800GTO should outperform it by quite a bit. It has a 256bit bus vs. 128 bit. The frame buffer of 256MB is more than enough for a video card. More frame buffer is only needed when you play games in very high resolutions with high settings and extra large textures. This is something you cannot do with the x1600pro, so the large buffer is not needed.
