9800 pro

 

[Munky]

The 9800p/xt is only available in AGP. Of course, you probably knew that already, right?

 

[rickyman]

wow, 9800 pro is the same as 6600 pci-e or not.

i know that.

which i stay at 9800 pro or go for 6600 pci-e?

 

[Munky]

9800p is better than a 6600. If you want an upgrade get at least a 6800 or better.

 

[rickyman]

maybe i will get 6800 nu only.

$90 for a 6600 pcie ? is it worthy?

 

[compgeek89]

6600 is not worthy

 

[ddogg]

nope its not worth it unless you're a really light gamer. get a 6600GT or 6800NU.

 

[rickyman]

MSI Nvidia PCI-E 6600GT OEM Unused $120 shipped

is this worthy?

 

[compgeek89]

no, get a 6600 GT for $130-$140

 

[rickyman]

where do you get 6600 gt for 130-140?

The difference between your 9800p and a 6600gt isnt that big at all. I'd stay with what you have until you can afford a 6800gt/x800p or better. Stay away from those 8 pixel piped cards.

 

[rickyman]

is 6800 NU for 175 okay ?

Zipzoomfly has the evga 6600GT for $124 AR shipped free. Monarchcomputer.com also has it for pretty cheap. Forget the price off hand but, it has a $20 rebate. Its like $129AR I believe? Good luck.

Of course if you would have gotten in on the microcenter deal couple weeks ago, it was $69 or something after rebate.

It looks like its agp now. I believe it was pcie last week. Its $139 with a $15 rebate. So $124 shipped.

i would recommend
x800GTO/X800GT = $140 - $170
6800xt $150 - $170
x800xl
6800gt

anyways 6600gt are outdate now

 

[nemesismk2]

How can the 6600 GT be outdated unless the 7600 GT has been released and I don't know about it? What will be outdated are all of the x800 video cards you have listed because ATI are about to release a whole new range of video cards next month.

are those you talking about all pci-e or agp?

 

[Sentry2]

Maybe you could look at the Leadtek 6800le for $124 @ newegg.
It only has 8 pipelines but my friend just got lucky and I was able to unlock his card to 16pipelines and all 6 shaders with no artifacts in anything....not common though...oc's nicely too.

 

[rickyman]

i guess i should get 6800 at least.

 

[compgeek89]

A 6600 GT would be a decent upgrade.

A 6800 in PCIe isnt any better than the 6600 GT so I dont reccomend it.

A 6800 GT would be $275 but is a sweet card.

 

[rickyman]

is 6600gt same as ait 9800 pro/xt mode?
