6800 (Non-GT) worth it over 9800Pro?

[Marcos]

Also, what are the best prices on them atm?

I found this:

http://www.lowestonweb.com/Products/...3-8A8D0253C1B2

6800 128mb £170 inc VAT

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=63700

9800Pro 128mb £145

[skattrd]

£170's a good price for a 6800 mate and imo its easily worth it over the 9800pro.


Oh and the 6800 might softmod to a GT as well

[Agent]

£25 is well worth it for the 6800

[icehot]

6800 for sure, its such damn good value for money

But what if a person already had a 9800Pro...would it be worth it to upgrade to a vanilla 6800?

It would still be a fair difference but not a leap. I have a 9800pro and i wouldnt upgrade to the 6800 myself... if i could afford to upgrade now then it would probably be a gt.

Im going to wait until the athlon 64's, nforce 3 and pci express is mainstream (nice and cheap ) before upgrading

Vanilla flavours are niceeeEE
6800 m8... don't turn back!
Or go get a used 9800Pro for 90£

I've had both of these.

Yes..its faster. It also overclocks very well indeed. I think the 6800 vanilla model is very understressed as a standard chip

Its cack in Il-2 tho

[Curfish]

can the 6800 be softmoded to to a GT?

[steve threlfall]

Some can some cant

luck of the draw i think. A 6800gt for £180ish would be nice wouldnt it

[Curfish]

it would be pretty awesome, as my 9700 pro aiw sems to be dieing (lots of graphics artifacts from time to time) i was looking at the 9800pro but if the 6800's are better maybe i should save a few more pennies

[Zak33]

while its a nice idea....dont buy one with that sole intention. Buy one cos its darn good value for money anyway.

If the pipelines are available, then excellent, but trust me....damn thing is fast anyway

[iMc]

are 6800's on PCI-E yet?

[Marcos]

6800 it is then

Also, what should i be looking it for a card that provides PVR/TV functions aswell as good gaming performance?

Its not a necessity but if i could have the function i may consider it

Chances are NVIDIA won't release the plain 6800 SKU on PCI Express.
