6800 vs. 6800 GT

[SilverLock]

Given the new 6800 series... I have a question based on the recent AT article that ranked cards for price performance ratio.

It would appear that the 6800NU is the best buy for the money in the price/performance ratio (NVIDIA camp). I was happy with my Far Cry performance, and happy with my DOOM III performance so far. I intend on getting (and it is the game I am waiting for) Tribes Vengence and wondered if anyone would persuade me to trade up ($108) to get the GT.

Thanks.

Please don't flame one another.

shouldn't this be in sale/trade?

6800GT offers 4 more pipelines, higher clock speed, AND GDDR3 memory. 6800 only has 12 pipelines, and DDR1 memory.

the GT has twice the RAM as well.

Aw man, I wanted to flame nanaki333 for not reading your post.

Bah, why can't this forum use the same ubb code as all the others..

Since most GTs will overclock to Ultra levels, shouldn't we be comparing the NU and the Ultra?

 

[SilverLock]

I prefer not to overclock my parts... just better that way.

The GT has 40% higher fillrate and memory bandwidth, not to mention double the RAM and the media processor. Is it worth an extra 33% cash moneys? IMO, yes.

But there are plenty of benchmarks around for you to see if the framerate increase is worth it to you.
