New graphics card

[Garfield_]

Since my X800 PRO went bad I need a new one.

Ive been looking at these

INNO3D GEFORCE 6800 128MB
XFX GeForce 6800 XT 128MB
ASUS GEFORCE 6600GT 256MB
ASUS GEFORCE 6600LE 256MB
ASUS V9999LE/TD GeForce 6800LE 128MB

The price is about the same on all those, but which of them is best for pure gaming ?

Scratch the LEs off the list straight away. They're horrible cards.

The new 6800 GS cards are really good cards, very aggressive clock speeds and they are about the same/cheaper than teh 6800gt but outperform it.

Whats your budget?

And yeah, if you can get the 6800 GS... then go for it.

Those are only PCI-E

 

[duffers20]

Ah right, so you need an AGP card. You are alittle more limited with a card then since you can only use the agp interface. 6800GT is probably the best agp card out there in terms of performance and value.

Why not RMA the X800 Pro to ATi?

Doesn't flashing the card and overclocking void the warrenty?

Ahh yes I forgot about that.

6800 XT ? Is it similiar to the 6800 gs?

 

[Theory]

7800 gt

 

[giant384]

7800 gt

you are no help you must not understand agp and pci-e if you say that also go with the 6800gt if you can afford it

 

[Garfield_]

[bryanf445]

6800 gs is coming out for agp really soon, so just wait for that

 

[Theory]

Excellent choice. I have one and I have been very happy with it.
