wots the best graphics card full stop

[Dooms]

oooo as said above, screw the x850xt - get 2x 6800ultra's SLI's!!!! if money is no object that is

[0iD]

I think he's pullling your leg there, and even worse, you've been suckered in. You can't buy X800s or X850s for £50 even at wholesale or distributor prices. ATI don't even sell to OEMs at anything close to that price. Same with the 6800GT.

PM Andrzej, if anyone knows he should, after all he's tha ATi insider type dude

[nvening]

WOW! get the magic beans!
I would say, spend £100 and get 2 xfx 6800GT (pci-e) for sli. << the best
or
One 6800ultra (they only come in agp and u will have trouble getting them) <<< If u hav to
or
The best ATI x800 card u can get (dont nowhat that is) <<<< second best

But if u want agp the ultra is the way to go. Can i meet ur friend? ill pay £100 per card, what a deal!

Do 6800 ultras come in PCI express - nvening and myself seem to think they don't but I keep seeing references to them for SLI. Any ideas? I'm ordering my rig soon so I want to make sure I get it right.

You people don't look too hard do you?

You might have a job of finding anywhere with stock of the top end cards though.

I'm new to all this, so I'm not sure of where to look for the right kit. That's why I'm asking you guys for help. Thanks for your advice, though.

[nvening]

mmmmmmm i seem to be wrong, i have never looked as i am not that rich, i have merely passed on that other people have been saying they are waiting 4 pci-e ultras, mabe they mean stock?

Ebuyer has x850xts. They are the fastest you can get right now, and very quiet.

1. Only on the US site
2. Out of stock, and most probably never had any in the first place
3. They could've put up a better representation image!!!

hehe I was going to say same thing, if you can get them for £50 each then thats a saving of about £700. Seems a tad unlikely though.

I’m thinking compatibility issue Mr. Andrzej with the first two.. and wow .
…Although you driving a VERY hard bargain I think I’d suggest him NOT to go with the pile of beans (test show it’s getting 5 less fps than corn this month)

[wazi]

i did really want an aiw card but i suppose i could always get an additional tv card, would there be a massive diffrence between 9800 aiw pro the beast and , x800 ?

[exAndrzej]

...5 less fps than corn...

...but that is the advantage of niblets - yes ?

They are so much easier to track
