    Whats better? 6800GT vs X1600

    Hi all,

    Thinking of buying a mac and i wondered what your take was on the two cards in question?

    My XFX 6800 GT 256mb or the iMac X1600 256mb.

    Thanks all

    Darrem

    x1600 has a much faster chip but thats just part of the picture, no 128bit card is ever that good but the x1600 only has 4 ROPs too which is pretty pathetic, the 9500pro was 128bit / 8 ROPs and speaking of those cards, the 9600XT was a very fast chip too but got outperformed in nearly everything by the lower clocked 9800pro
