Hey guys

I have a 6-month old Leadtek A400TDH (GF 6800 NU), and realised today that I can now get an A400GT TDH (6800GT) for what I paid for my 6800 NU originally.

Would it be a good idea to sell my existing card and get myself the GT? Or should I rather just wait until the next generation GeForce cards come out? 😕
 
I'd say wait unless you're itching to play 16x12 with maximum details and then some (more AF or AA).
 
If your extra pipes and vertex shader work then a definate no.

Having owned a 6800, 6800 GT and 6800 Ultra ,id say dont do it unless you just want to play with a new card and want to burn some cash.

See , here is the deal even the Ultra cannot play max details @ 1600x1200 in every game so the 256mb of ram goes wasted. Though in some games it can. The 6800 NU can handle HQ @ 1280x1024 in almost every game though.


Honestly I will most likely sell my Ultra while its still worth something and buy a known good unlocked NU again.















 
If your extra pipes and shader does not work then id recommend jumping straight to an Ultra ..you will see a very healthy performance increase.
 
How would I go about checking if my extra pipelines can be unlocked? Does a softmod exist for 6800 NU's yet?
