x800GTO, or 6800 XT?

basically this:

or this:

for gaming, maya, photoshop, other design programs

(removed the x1600... just between x800gto and 6800 gt now)

The 6800GT would be a shoe in, however the one you listed above is a XT which performs more or less like a 6600GT.

The GTO is definitely better. That other card is not a 6800 GT at all but an 8-pipe 6800 XT. Although if you can unlock one of the quads, it could be a much better deal.

 

[morkus64]

oops, typo... yeah i meant xt

is Sapphire a decent brand? Never bough them before - i've always stuck to asus, msi, evga, etc.

Far better investment.

I actually got one of these x800s for my mom's computer, and it works great. Almost equivalent to the x800gto, and exactly equivalent to the 6800 vanilla. For $80 after rebate, you just can't do better. While it has half the memory, in this category of cards, 128MB is enough.

i was wondering the same thing... i wish THG's vga charts were as good as their CPU charts

you might want to check out this review

[morkus64]

thanks! so it looks like the x800gto generally beats out the 6800 with a couple exceptions... i wish they had some 3dsmax benchmarks, but oh well. I thinkj i'm gonna go for ATI for the first time ever

LOL... well thanks for that. I used to be on the ball with this stuff, but there are just too many little codes now!

I believe nvidia made the 6800GS to compete with the X800GTO.

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2593 review of the 6800gs which looks like it out performs the GTO by quite the large margin.

That's a good price for a 6800nu. I would go with that one. You can get a GS for about $50 more if you willing to go that high.

The one i listed is 20 dollars more than the x800GT0. It also comes with a factory overclock and warrenty. 25Mhz is a minor over clock though, but it will add maybe 2-4 FPS to some games.

 

[morkus64]

Thanks guys... i decided to save some money for now and stick with what i have (my new system is based on the AsRock dual sata, so i can use my 5900 ultra for now and upgrade to pci express later).

I've also put my P4 2.8 up for trade (for a video card or 2x1gb pc3200), so go check out my FS thread and offer me a 7900 for it
