its kinda mixed but i like the 6800GT at that price, others prefer the x800 vivo

Shame you missed the pcwcc offer, got my 6800ultra for £290

I would say 6800gt but others would say x800pro its between them two really.

[BAcon]

my gt cost me £220 from pcw , was guna get an ultra but i sold my POV ultra to save money and buy the GT anyway, tbh with the Gt at 425/1.15 i notice no differece to my ultra when it was at 425/1200

even at 400/1100 the difference when playing games is minimal compared to 425/1200

Definately go for a GT

[pumbertot]

nope x800 pro vivo can be got for £260 ish new.can easily be flashed to 16 pipes and wipe the floor with the GTs.

FLAME!!!!!!

[daniel_owen_uk]

6800gt already has 16 pipelines and can overclock to ultra speeds, its personal prefference really.

Yeah it can be easily flashed, but that dont mean those 4 extra pipelines are gonna work right. The 6800 GT has 16 guaranteed pipeline goodness

And don't forget nvidia has digital vibrance does a world of difference to colours on tft's

[fRostiE]

XFX 6800GT at that price range

easily get 6800Ultra speeds

[muddyfox470]

6800s seem to be great for the price, but if you want a smaller pcb (cuz the nvidias are absolutely MASSIVE) get the x800 there isnt that much seperating them

some say x80 is best others the 6800!

y not buy both? lol!

GT or ultra... nuff said!

[muddyfox470]

i wud go gt, the money you save is greater than the increase in performance you wud have got, and there is always the chance u cud oc it to ultra speeds!

[bertie]

I went for GT, they are massive though!
Does Digital vibrance control reduce performance?
