Bosco Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Its a few frames faster then the 9800XT so against the new series I would have to say X600 or X700 still not a bad card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchalogamer Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 now wait...the x700pro doesnt beat the 6600GT...so how in the hell woudl it beat a 6800...the comparison to an x800 or the new x800gt is prob closer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 The plain old 6800 is not that powerful if you look at the specs: Powered by GeForce 6800 GPU (NV40) Superscalar 12-pipe GPU Architecture 0.13 Micron Process Technology High-Speed 256-bit DDR Memory Interface with Advanced Memory Control Core clock speed of 325 MHz Memory clock speed of 700 MHz Available in 128 and 256mb models Full-Speed 32-Bit Color Precision AGP 8X interface The 6600GT DirectX support: DirectX 9.0c (SM 3.0) Pixel pipelines: 8 Vertex shaders: 3 Manufacturing process: 110 nanometer Transistors: 146 million Core clock speed: 500MHz Memory clock speed: 900MHz (DDR) Memory expansion: 128/256 MB Memory technology: GDDR3 Memory buswidth: 128 bit Look at the GPU and Memory speed, send of all the X700Pro is so close to the 6600GT in some benchmarks that it could go either way, second of all the X700XT beats the 6600Gt it almost every benchmark. Remember this is just a 6800 not a GT or Ultra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_cow Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 6800:Core clock speed of 325 MHz Memory clock speed of 700 MHz 6600GT: Core clock speed: 500MHz Memory clock speed: 900MHz (DDR) 526370[/snapback] Does this mean that the 6600gt is.... faster than the 6800?? How can that be, wtf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Guys it just a plain 6800 thats it just because it has a higher number does not mean that its faster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danyo64 Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 uhh .. .about the 6600gt being faster... NO!!! there are a ton of different things that make the 6800 better. for examples, more pipelines, faster memory, larger memory bandwidth, higher fill rate... and so on ...

DECwakeboarder Posted August 11, 2005 Posted August 11, 2005 Completely different cores, it's like saying a 2.4ghz celeron is faster than a 3500+ because it is clocked higher. X800GT<6800NU<=X800 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
