6600GT 0r 6800LE ???

[skuzgib]

I had one from order247 last year. I didn't unlock so I returned it.

[Gipo]

I actually managed to nab a 6800le for 120 (2nd hand) unlocks to 8x1, 6vp

[Thorsson]

It starts with 8x1...

[Gipo]

but 2nd part is normally 4vp

Cheapest 6800LE (£161+del.): http://komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=303912&cks=PRL
Cheapest 6800 (£175): http://www.lowestonweb.com/Products/...3-8A8D0253C1B2

These are the cheapest prices I can find from decent brands/shops.

Since the 6800LE and 6600GT seem to be the same sort of speeds, I'd go for the 6600GT since you can get it for less (£140). However, the extra £35 for a 6800 is, in my opinion, worth it.

I got the 6800 from lowest on the web (arrived yesterday) I have quickly tried unlocking the pipes but this caused artifacts...but I gather this is pot luck...the vp's worked though...
Still a great card and very overclockable!

Which 6800 cards have the broken DVD or video engine?

[CeeJay]

all of them do i believe.

[noah]

yeah problems across the board there, thats a good selling point for the 6600gt

[wenis]

I thought I read somewhere that the regular 6800 is ok, but that the GT and LE are broken. I'm not sure,but I thought I read that. It depends on the the chipset right NV40 vs NV45?

[Thorsson]

No. All 6800s are nerfed. 40 & 45 are AGP and PCI-E AFAIK.

Shmunk i hope youre jokin i ordered a 6800le off order247.co.uk today !!

UNDO UNDO lol

[djives]

WTF ROFL ...... FFS !!!

HOW CHEAP ! http://www.clickonit.com/product.php?product=212607

***AGP*** 6600 GT just over 90 quid ?

thats 40 notes cheaper than the 6800le,
i think im cancelling my order with 247 tomoro!

The question is, is this a GT on not? Name suggests no but spec suggests Yes???
And on the pic theres no Molex connector, which suggests Non-GT
(price also suggests non-gt)

which one is it ! aaarrrrghghg !

[noah]

i'd say its not as the actual product description ie what it will say on your order is "Xpert Vision 128MB GeF 6600 TV/DVI 8x AGP Retail Boxed" which is what they will quote you when you try and complain. but............you never know, are ya feelin' lucky?

edit: they have the gt too so i guess not http://www.clickonit.com/product.php?product=205442
