X800 XL vs 6800 GT and Ultra

[ExtremeGamer09]

Hi, my brother is looking for a new video card and i was just wondering is an X800 xl better than a 6800 gt? or is faster than 6800 ultra?

Is this AGP or PCI-e?

what is his rig like and what resolution?

 

[ExtremeGamer09]

well the x800 xl is pci, and lets say the 6800 gt and ultra are agp now what?

 

[Cookie Monster]

You mean the X800XL is PCI-express and the 6800GT/ultra are AGP versions?

Is the motherboard AGP or PCI-e?

 

[ExtremeGamer09]

yes the motherboard that my bro has a agp slot and pci express slot so he can choose which card he likes

 

[Cookie Monster]

Huh?!?!? I think your mistaking the PCI-e slots with PCI slots. Unless hes using a ULi motherboard.

 

[ExtremeGamer09]

yes i think that is what he has ULi motherboard he can choose if he wants a pci gpu or agp gpu

 

[imhungry]

No, the ULi motherboard is a PCI-Express Slot and AGP Slot Motherboard.

It's either PCI or PCI-Express, which one are you talking about?

 

[ExtremeGamer09]

i am talking about the ULi motherboard

What is the price range that your brother is looking at for his new Graphics card?

 

[ExtremeGamer09]

he doesnt want spend over $140 but he has a 6800 right now, hes looking for new or used gpu off ebay..

Best bet is an X850XT for $154 (AR) from Newegg.
In fact, it's the absolute best sub $200 card available.

x800xl=6800gt (but xl's suck for ocing)

so the ultra should be better then both.

Click.

In a nutshell the nVidia cards will be better at OpenGL while the ATi card will have the edge in Direct3D.

who's on first?
anyway, what games does he play?

"but he has a 6800 right now"

6800 agp is as good as anything out there
pci-express wasn't nothing but another way to keep people buying computers/computer upgrades
