Default Video Card Suggestions - 02-14-2005, 05:09 PM
Im interested in picking up a 6800 GT, but its 4 bills and I am wondering if there is anything else comparable that any of you would suggest? Maybe even at a cheaper price

I have a $100 gift certificate to newegg and just got my money back from them for the faulty PSU.

I think im gonna buy this psu

x800 pro VIVO, flash it to xt-pe speeds and 16 pipes, not really sure on american pricing though, oOo:

Probably better off buying an x800xt or a 6800gt, gt can usually overclock to 6800 ultra speeds anyway, plus either one should last a good while before you need to upgrade again.

Everything from thermaltake is shitty. I wouldn't trust them with a fan much less one of the most important pieces of hardware in my computer.

I've heard some good stuff about the OCZ power supplies. Maybe check them out.

Pro imo isn't worth it, pro vivo with a flashed bios to 16 pipes = worth it.

But it doesn't always work. Plus they are rare and often cost more than a 6800GT or X800XT.
