Plain 6800

[NeonFlak]

Are there any reviews of the plain 6800 anywhere? Was just wondering how it performed since you can get it for less than a 9800xt. Searched on google and seem to be able to only find 6800 ultra reviews.

Thanks

It actually looks pretty good. Definitly better buy than a 9800 XT.

The vanilla 6800, thats basically a quarter stripped NV40.......4 piplines have been ripped from it..........................its just abit faster than the 9800xt and the Fx5950 ultra........... Seriously, get a X800 or 6800GT instead.

Not every one has money to just throw out there. So far I have seen some good deals on these 6800's.. like for $235 bucks for one of them. The next closest thing is the Visiontek X800Pro for 329 at http://www.outpost.com which u must use search to find it (type "x800" in the search bar) Either way it may be smart to wait it out until these other cards that seem to have a bit better performance drop in price a little bit which should happen when they are actually readily available...
