ATi X850XT PE vs PNY 6800GT
 

i already own this http://www.pny.com/products/verto/perfo ... 6800gt.asp but for another 30$and an hour drive i could get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814102502 opinions, criticism, gERV?

danny

Get the X850XT, no doubt.

..an hour drive? That will involve you going out into society. Stick with what you've got.

Well the x850xt-pe is the fastest single card you can currently buy, you got the gt for next to nothing why not add $30 to it and get something even faster?

The core clock on the ATI eats the 6800's. I'd say go for it but why not just spend 20 bucks on a fan and clock the piss out of the 6800 to the same frequencys?

Well, for a start if you clock the piss out of a 6800gt it still won't be as fast as an x850xt at stock settings (on air cooling at least). The x800's don't really overclock that well but its plenty fast as it is.

Not only are you spending $30 more, you are wasting gas.

oOo:


I always assumed cars went on pleasant thoughts and not gas, hmm theres a turnup for the books.

Don't forget that the dreaded sun might be out. Might need to bust out your:

You'll only see at most a 10% improvement for the most part, with peaks of 20% here and there, if you go with X850.


But for $30 it would be stupid not to.

It's funny how it's presumed that since u post on this forum u dont have a life and go out. annoy:

HAHH! Actually from the avatar i thought it was gerv posting happy:

Ditto ;)....but then ATI (in a year or so) will have their Next Gen card...most will just say...Wait for those too! Cause the ATI Next Gen Will OWN THE HELL out of the 7600's. Its ok...still sticking with the 7600 tho ;)

yea the 7600's will also be about 800CDN$ while i can get a x850xtpe for 350CDN$

Not worth arguing about how much i go out and hang out with friends to most of the people on this forum so i will just kindly say stfu k thnx rock:

whoa nig $500 video cards ....real top of the line shit there

Myself, I went fairly cheap and got the X700Pro 256 GDDR3 for roughly $240. biggrin:

Yeah, I got a Geforce 6600 GT 128 MB for around $220.

Don't see what the use is to get the top of the line card in the same series since they're pretty much built the same but faster and faster.

I don't wanna get fucked over for buying the Geforce Ti4600 top of the line and very expensive, then it only lasts like a year and half before I have to replace it for future games. The same thing would happen if I would have bought a slower card but at least I wouldn't have to spend as much money.

the 7800's you mean... and the only reason the 850 is so cheap right now is becasue of its pending luanch... They are trying to sell them off asap. (this gens high end cards)

nope i mean 7600 ... because it will be faster than the x850 and may be cheaper or just the same... the 7800`s are going to be around 650 for quite sometime

I found this beat-up peice of cardboard, I use that for my video card. I drew a bunch of gadgets and stuff on it, so it looks like it. I attach it with a string to a card-board box moniter then draw the pictures on the box. It works real well, try it sometime. oOo:
