So hard...

[ApacheChief]

I CANNOT decide whether to go with a 6800GT or 6800 OR 6800LE... what would be best for someone who doesn't game TOO often, and is satisfied with around 1200x1000 (can't remember the res off hand) at medium/high settings.

I plan to overclock with an NV Silencer 5.

If you're not a hard core gamer I see no reason to even think of the 6800GTs

 

[KoolDrew]

How often do you really play and what games do you play? You may be fine with a 9800 Pro

 

[ApacheChief]

How long will the 6800 be able to run games at the resolution/settings I specified?

 

[ApacheChief]

I play fairly often, just not high resolution games. (SC, D2)

I would love to play Doom 3, HL2, WoW and Halo 2.

If planning on Dooming much, I'd get the GT

 

[ApacheChief]

I'll just wait for a GT to go on sale, grab that and throw the NV Silencer on it

6800 vanilla

OC, open pipes and vertex?

Is it true that only SOME 6800's allow opening of pipes/vertex?

I got the straight up 6800, and I play doom 3. I can play at 1024x768 w/ medium detail. It's a TAD choppy for a split second here and there, nothing that bothers me at all though (and I'm pretty anal). Any higher on the detail though and the choppiness does bother me.

 

[ApacheChief]

Did you OC and unlock?

thanks for the replies guys

 

[RadiclDreamer]

I'm super anal, so any choppiness bothers me, even with the 6800 Ultra OC, I still see a teensy slowdown from time to time....and it bothers me!

 

[ApacheChief]

Maybe I'd be best off with an LE?

or even less
I still play lots of games, and my 9800 Pro plays them all without fault, at high detail.

I don't think 9800 will run D3 at 12x9?
