How good/bad is 6800LE

[faye]

Hi, right now i am leaning toward WinFast 6800LE 128mb or 256mb version.

Is it a good buy?
6800LE 256MB for $240
6800LE 128MB for $228
6800NU 128MB for $270

all of them must be in AGP.

After all that, should i still looking into 6800(NU) version? because 6800LE is crap?
or it is the best chip to be unlocked?

The most the most the most i can afford is $270

The NU @ $270 is just $42 more than the LE and will kick the LE's @ss.

and the you can unlock and overclock the AGP 6800NU's too....so id say go with the 6800NU

I think your over paying for your cards. IF you search pricegrabber.com, nextag.com, or go to newegg.com... I see 6800NU's for a lot cheaper....

heres a 6800 for 199, after a $30 rebate.

after after just a little searching, a see a lot from $220-$240.

I would def. go with the 6800NU at those prices over the LE. The NU has the unlocking potential, more pipes, etc.

you may also want to look at the 6600GT's, over a 6800LE. 6600GT's are going for $159 at new egg.

I would still get the 6800 for $199 if it was me, but just wanted to give you your options.

From what I remember hearing 6800LEs were rejected NUs that couldn't handle the speed, so if you find one that does, you've found a diamond in the rough.

Get a 6800NU, and you'll be happy happy.

Yeah, thats what I thought too Bob. I agree with his sentiments.

Only the EVGA 6800LEs with 256 ram used the Ultra core and PCB.

The rest are crap.


I doubht you can find them now, whoever got them was lucky.
