9800 Pro Or 6600gt

[wanksta]

Since the neo4 has pci-e i need to get a pci-e card,

 

does the 6600GT out preform the 9800 pro?

 

if the 6600GT is not a gooe PCI-E pick what would be for under $150?

[Blue_cow]

I would haev to say go for the 6600 due to its SLi abbilities. if you're into that kinda think of course

[Bionix]

definatley the 6600 GT over the 9800 pro.

Well.... If your motherboard is PCI-e, you cant get a 9800pro anyway. >_<

No such thing as a PCI-E 9800pro.

 

For PCI-E cards, the X800 is a better deal than the 6600GT. They are usually less expensive and faster.

 

If you don't have a new motherboard yet, get one that does not support SLI or crossfire and save yourself soem money. If done alot of research and compairison and a single card is far more worth while in the long run. The only way SLI is really a good choice is if you ar elooking to build the fastest thing you can and go for two of the best cards you can.

 

No point in getting two 6600GTs, one 6800GT is faster at the resolutions and setting it will probably be used at.

 

No point in getting two 6800GTs/6800Ultras, one 7800GTX is faster and less expensive at the settings it would conceivably be used at.

Exactly the reason i am not going to ge an SLI set up

 

i kno that there is no such thing as a 9800 pro pci-e, but i was wondering if the 6600gt would preform better than a 9800 pro

 

basically comparing the preformance of my sig comp to this one:

 

and i am going to get amd64 set up w/ msi neo4 (non sli) and 3000+ venice and 6600gt?????????? under construction

 

the x800 is a better deal than the 6600gt? hummmm

[swifty11212]

x800 series is the best bang for the buck. just dont get the x800 se.

[Guest Flashstar]

The x800se is actually a rebranded pci -e 9800pro.

[oralpain]

Yes a 6600GT is faster than a 9800pro.

 

Yes a plain X800 is faster than a 6800GT. Price is the same too.

 

6600GT = 8(pipelines) x 500MHz(core clock) = 4.0 billion texels per second (fill rate)

6600GT = 1000MHz (DDR) x 128-bit (memory bus width) = 16.0 GB/s (memory bandwith)

 

X800 = 12 (pipelines) x 392Mhz (core clock) = 4.7 billion texels persecond (fill rate)

X800 = 700MHz (DDR) x 256-bit (memory bus) = 22.4 GB/s (memory bandwidth)

 

There are other factors that determine perfromance, but fill rate and memory bandwidth are the biggest ones, by far, and the X800 has a sginificant lead over the 6600GT.

[wanksta]

WOW. . . . that answers my ?????

 

ok X800 it is........

[gravy]

WAIT!

 

the X800GT is coming out very soon, unless you can afford the X800 Pro, i would wait for the X800GT, it is supposed to beat the 6600GT and be $150 or less

for the price the x800xl is one of the best bang for the buck cards you can get right now.
