Ok, in todays games w/ the rest of the system remaining the same, would...

An unlocked (16 pipes, 6 shader units) 6800 OC: 350/700 128MB ram

or

A locked (12 pipes, 5 shader units) 6800 GS OC: 370/1050 256MB ram

be faster at 1280x1024?

Rest of the system:

Win XP
XP3200+
1GB PC3200

I know its a dumb question but a friend of mine is upgrading to a new Conroe rig and no long needs his 6800 GS agp. I have a regular 6800 that I unlocked and I thought about asking him for his GS if it will be faster.

Thanks

i'm guessing that your friends 6800GS doesn't unlock? even without unlocking the 6800GS should be faster, maybe not by much though, but the 256mb DDR3 on the GS should be the difference maker.

Yeah, I walked him through it the way I did it and he said textures were all shimmery.

True be told the only game I play right now is WOW but I'm looking forward to HL2: Ep2 w/ TF2. :D
