superb Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Im planning on getting a new video card under 300$ budget and The Nvidia XFX GeForce XXX Edition 6800GS looks like its the bang for the buck around my area i found this too be the cheapest price XFX GeForce 6800 GS But i Got a Hookup with some1 who works at ATI who can get me a Brand New X1800XL For 250$ :cool: both are basically the same price and wanted to know which would be a better deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
palehorse Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Forget the 6800! You can get a few great 7800GT's at Newegg for under $300! Best one on the bunch: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130256 now the tough part is deciding which one: the X1800XL vs the 7800GT... I'd say that the 7800GT is the best bet because you can get another one in a few months and run them SLI... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sQuid Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 He's got an Ultra-D (not SLI). He'll have to mod it to get SLI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary_Johnston Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 If those are the 2 you're choosing between, x1800xl would be the best choice if you ask me... as much as i don't like ATi right now XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

george__ Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Go with something like a MSI NX6800GS. Our Price is like 224 CAD... Good Card, Nice Price, Great Performance. Those Under 300 bux 7800 GTs are EWW. Steve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
