6800NU vs 6600GT

gamepad · Jul 28, 2005

$150 gets 128MB XFX 6800NU
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150068

..Or at a similar price, the 6600GT..

I know the 256MB NU is faster than 6600GT, but 128MB version, i'm not really sure.

I appreciate any advice!

Of the two cards you mentioned, and at similar price, of course the 6800nu. It is faster 8 out of 10 times compared to 6600GT.

6800 has slower memory but it also has a 256bit memory controller and 12 pipes instead of 8.
6800 is a winner.

Agree. Even if your 6800nu doesn't unlock it's still a good card.

No brainer. 6800, esp at that price This is a better deal IMO though for an evga card.

Dang! Thats a great price for a 6800nu. The only thing that bothers me is it says "Usually ships between 7 and 21 days"??????

You missed the PNY's for $155 no rebate, huh? From Newegg? 😉

Sold my 6600GT to get a 6800NU several months back. I don't regret it.
