6600 gt vs 6800

[OzzieGT]

Which is better? What are the pros and cons of each?

 

[imported_Kensai]

6800 > 6600GT on all counts. Even more so if you overclock the 6800.

 

[OzzieGT]

Hmm. So I paid $180 for my 6600GT....if I can get a 6800 for $50 more I guess I should jump on it.

What is the diff between the 6800gt and the 6800?

well to be more technical, 6600 gt can win sometimes in games they benfit from high clock speeds (check out Halo benchmarks)

6800 is not worth $50 more. 6800gt is nice if u have $300 and want high resolutions

X800XL?

 

[shoRunner]

x800xl is a better deal than the 6800, especially when it can be gotten for $250 at monarch like everyother month.

800xl is more tastey if it was to compare vs the 6800gt on pci express because of the price differentials. if agp, go with 6800gt.

So what about X800XL vs. 6600GT?

 

[suicidalpigeon]

800xl performs somewhere around a 6800gt.

are you sure? the X800 PRO isn't even quite as good as a 6800GT.

I'd say the X800XL should be on par with a 6800NU.

Thanks...I'll stick with my 6600 GT for now and upgrade to something else in a couple years when I actually NEED it.

 

[suicidalpigeon]

yes buying only when you need it is the smart way to go.

x800xl > x800pro

 

[mooncancook]

x800xl > x800pro

X800XL = 16 pipes
X800Pro = 12 pipes
6800 = 12 pipes
6800GT = 16 pipes
6600GT = 8 pipes
