ATi 9800XT or EVGA 6800?

[Vonkhan]

I have an ATi 9800xT in my rig and a friends gave a 6800 with a broken heatsink as a freebie.

Question is, should I stick with the 9800XT or should I buy a heatsink and use the 6800 instead?

I play FPS games and the odd MMORPG

Thanks in advance!

Buy a VF-700 for the 6800. Unlock it, and overclock it.

6800 isn't all that. it has trouble running source with any eyecandy. nvidia = bad for anything with AA/AF

sure that is partially true but it will still run faster than a 9800XT especially when unlocked and overclocked

You lucky dog! I recomend you keep the 9800 and send the 6800 to me. Email me.

Even if not unlocked / overclocked the 6800 will still be faster.
