6800 GT Vs. X800 Pro?

At the same price, I'd have to recommend the 6800GT. If it was a GT for $400 and an X800Pro for $350, though, it'd be a much tougher decision...
 
what about the x800xt-pe @ gateway for $398 that is backordered for a month or the 6800gt for $386 with tax and next day shipping that should be here in a couple of days from best buy?
 
OK, all these deals seem fine, but the only card I could find anywhere in stock to be shipped in a week was the x800pro. Did I miss something ?"soon, pre-order, etc". doesn't cut it !

By the time you get the XT-PE from Gateway, it'll only be worth $398. A couple day wait it reasonable, even a week is, but there's just no point in waiting a month for a slightly better card, when you can have a really good card at the same price today.

JellyBaby: 2005 maybe? It won't come down in price until we have something to replace it(i.e. the Ultra, when needs something to replace it)

zlooop: Card prices on the X800 Pro, XT, and GF6800U will, but everything is ultimately going to settle in its 499/399 MSRP, give or take a few dollars
 
X800pro.


6800GT is faster in OGL -- X800pro is faster in DX (the majority of games) , with AA/AF ? and in shader intensive games.

In the ? hardware.fr ? review 8 games ?

UT3
Farcry
Tomb Raider
Splinter Cell
Il-2 FB
Warcraft III
Collin McRae 04
FIFA 2004

???with a mix of some newer like FIFA2004 and Collin McRae 04 ... the X800pro easily beat the 6800GT at 16x12 - 4AA/16AF. In fact, the X800 tied?chart ...? the 6800U. But considering the 6800?s were running a lower shader path in Farcry -- the X800pro actually was faster than the 6800U in that review. The X800?s were running higher quality Trilinear filtering too.

I also think NV dropped the ball with AA on the 6800 -- you only have usable AA up to 4xAA. The 6AA on the X800pro is much better than only 4AA. I can?t see paying almost $400 for a card that can do only 4AA.
 
Definitely the GT, it has more pipelines that an x800 pro, runs cooler and is the same as the 6800 ultra apart from the core and mem speeds so you can overclock it to an ultra
 
You can get 6800 GT's from www.evga.com

They are currently in stock and FedEx will ship in a day if you pay enough.

Anyways, the 6800 GT is a much better card than the X800Pro. Just more features, can be overclocked to almost an Ultra, etc.
 
As I perused various early descriptions and tests, it all boiled down to me thinking the FX6800GT being the most desirable. The 3.0 shaders got to make a difference one day.
The interesting thing is I saw this poll on one website, and the majority of the "will buy" -votes went to the X800 cards. But now I find that most poster in this forum figures it like I do. Now why is that?
 
I would go with the GT. In the future once more SM3.0 games are out we should see more performance gains. I have an order for a GT hopfully it will be shipping soon...

Ina ll fairness, they weren't using the latest Det 61.45's in that review so it's possible there is better performance to be had from the GT than what that article would indicate.
