Hi, this is mainly a question about agp graphics cards.
I know the 6800gs agp is not out yet but we know roughly how well it will perform, the pcie benchmarks.
My question is should I get an x800 pro for £175 or should i wait for the 6800gs with sm3 support?
The specs of my sytem are:
A64 "venice" 3000
Dfi NF3 ultra
600w noistaker enermax
!gb of ddr 2-2-2-5 corsair pro ram
from custom pc from what ive read the 6800 gs is a bit better then the 6800 gt and the 6800 gt rival was the x800 and the gs chip is made slightly different and better giving a better gaming perfomance but lets see what every1 else thinks
iirc the AGP 6800gt and x800xl were roughly neck and neck performance wise.
x850xtpe > x850xt >x800xl > x850pro > x800pro > x800GTO2 > x800GTO > x800nu > x800GT from here
So if a 6800gs is around the same performance mark plus SM3.0 I would learn towards that one.
Yeah between the 2, probly go for 6800GS, although the X800Pro also overclocks very very well, and will perform better with AA/AF. The X800Pro can also be flashed to 16 pipes, to a X800XT PE, if it's the correct kind.
go for the GS. Just has a bit more going for it
