i'll work on it. . . .

since we are talking about PC and protocol . . . (to everyone) in the meantime, if what i post looks or seems odd and outta touch with reality, you will get a better response from me to ask what the hell i am talking about rather than to say that it is stupid.

Wow, these young anandtechers really know how to pick a fight, for crying out loud, stop jacking the thread and turning it into some big argument about grammar. If you have something personal say it in a PM.

As for your 6800 score, it is on the mark in terms of 3dmark03, however you will find it being much faster in other games relative to older gen cards. People buy certain cards to run the games they will be playing based on their budget, not the other way around

I remeamber reading a previous thread and I though the 6600GT got ~8000 3d03 marks? Can anyone confirm this?

As we said it will give you just a little bit above 8000 in 3Dmark03 and you can see that here and our Chinese colleagues were not selfish about more info. They said it will be clocked to a magnificent 500/1000 MHz - it's 110 nanometres so no surprises there. You may wonder how can you price a card at $199 and have 1000 MHz GDDR 3 memory with it. It's very simple - it uses a 128 bit memory interface. That costs you significantly less then 256 bit 1000 MHz clocked DDR3 memory.

The Geforce 6600 GT card uses 128 MB DDR3 with 128 bit memory clocked at 500 MHz and will cost you an affordable $199 and the card model number is P216

I'm going to leave aside whether some of what Apoppin said is ambiguous or not, but Lament, I think Apoppin meant what he said when he posted:

"NO one in their right mind is gonna argue that the 6800 is not noticeably/significantly faster than the 9800"

This does mean that the 6800 is faster than the 9800. "No one" and "not"... kinda like a double negative. Sorry OP for this off-topic post.

A $200 card giving you 8000 in 3dm03! vs a $300 getting the same.... Looks like that ram surely benifited.

set agp aperature to 256, it should make quite a difference. do as many xp tweaks as u can, overlcock and test, overclock more and test, i hit around 9500+ with my 6800 vanilla. i dont know how some people get 10K with the 6800NU. it mite be those monster 1 meg cache with those systems. BTW, ur cpu mite be bottlenecking. get a barton and get it quick.
