r_target Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 If it's NV only, I would suggest hunting down a vanilla 6800 at that price. It may take you a while, but you should find one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades25 Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 what do you think about a 6800 LE ? still better than the base 6800 right? well just looked an that LE and the core speed is slower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here we go: XFX 6800 at Monarch $259 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordofbeer Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 I think the LE has 8 pipes too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkev715 Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 For a $250 budget either the 6800 non-ultra or a 6600gt. Both are about the same when it comes to performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades25 Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 so they are the same? I already have a 6600 gt now ...my buddy was going to buy it for $200 ... if they are the same im not paying $50 more for the same basic thing.. I was looking at spec and the core of 6800 is 325 and the mem is 700 .. and the 6600 gt is 300/500 .. so that makes no difference?

BloodySunday Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Most GTs are 500/1000 (Effective) but if you have a 6600GT your not going to notice much difference with a 6800. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades25 Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 so to notice a difference i would need a 6800gt ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravy Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 i think at least a 6800GT or maybe even Ultra, not that the GT isnt faster, but it's usually hard to tell a huge difference in the latest generation of cards, until you get down to the 6200's, now if you were comparing an FX5900XT to a 6800GT, then you would see a big change kind of like the Ti4200/4400/4600, yeah the 4600 was a little faster, but not much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 yeah basically the 6800 gt/u/ue are the best. i just might "accidently" order one lol EDIT: hope your psu can handle them, they feed on your psu like HUGE leeches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hades25 Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 hmm I have a 350 watt antec and seems to work ok ... should i be worried! so basically if i dont get a 6800 gt or ultra i should just stick with my 6600 gt then huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
