[twitchee2]

50/50 chance of unlocking the pipes.

0% chance of making GT speeds, -537286293% chance of making ultra speeds.

6800 vanillas have default mem clock of 600mhz. You'll get 800mhz maybe, vs. 1GHZ for GT

Honestly, look for an X800XL for $20 more, it will blast that 6800 out of the water.

 

[twitchee2]

ok also another question how does the 6800 vanilla compair to a 6600gt?

No,

The extra pipes DONT EXIST on the PCI-e version.

0% chance of unlocking.

A 6800 will never be a GT, not even with 16 pipes.

It's a bit better for AA/AF and high res.

Correct, he hadn't established whether or not he was talking about AGP or PCI-E at the time of my post.

True for X800XL vs 6800GT, but teh X800XL is a much stronger card in all respects compared to the vanilla 6800

He said PCI-e in his third post and linked a PCI-e 6800 in his fourth.
