-nVidia 6800 GT 256 mo Sparkle/MSI

Kinda depends on which radeon you're talking about.

Re: Ati or nVidia

The 6800 is a great card.. but which Radeon are you thinking of getting? (the 6800 measures up t the x850's i think...

Re: Ati or nVidia

LOL!!!! which radeon haha. anyways.
its hard to say, but I would go with the 6800gs (instead of the GT). because they perform about the same. the gs is higher clocked but has 4 less pipelines and costs much less and overclocks more, plus runs WAYYYY colder.

but the 7600gt performs about 5fps BETTER than those two cards, and costs only 200american dollars. I would go with the 7600gt, easier to find, cheaper (than the 6800gt) and performs a little better.

256 bit GDDR3 memory... Good clock speed, and 16 pipes for $174... What more could you ask for?

Or if you had a little extra money around...

(this card kicks ass, just make sure you have a powerfull enough powersupply)



And can somone please explain to me why everyone on these forums prefers nVidias?? I find a much better bang for the buck with ATI's...

Nvidia has one driver which works for every card which is nice.

Alot of people use the 6800 GT, my friend has one and it looks great. Don't know how it compares to the ATI, but the nvidia is a safe bet.

ATI does the same thing, it is called CATALYST, and is a universal driver. ATI is as safe a bet as Nvidia gear is. Doing a bit of footwork will get you various benchmarks for both cards.

6800GT is going to outperform a X800 Pro in most cases. On the other hand, X800 Pro is probably cheaper.

Re: Ati or nVidia

i bought a new ati x1300 512mb ddr2, and it had artifacts and would overheat. i bought a new 7600gs and have had no problems whatsoever. it only raises 3 degrees during and after gaming. nvidi has always done me right, whereas my experiences with ati have not been that good. that is why i base my opinion on nvidia.

I would agree with the 7600GT, for cheaper you get better.
