Hahaha... It makes the sound better if they have long and complex names.

It's just an X800GT Talus :p
HIS, like other manufacturers like sticking pointless names to them and confuse the public.
Big2firzX, yes that card will do fine.

Re: Is this worth it?

And what does a GT mean when it's an ATI card again?

Man..I HATE it when both companies (ATI and NVIDIA) use each others' prefixes and suffices for graphics cards...

ATI - XT = good
NVIDIA - XT = bad

NVIDIA - GT = good
ATI - GT = bad?

Re: Is this worth it?

The X800GT is a direct competitor to the NVidia 6600GT, it is slightly better and slightly cheaper overall.

Re: Is this worth it?

so basically an X800GT is WORSE than an X800?

or am I getting this wrong..

What does an X800 compete with on the nVidia side? I thought it competed with the 6800GT/Ultra

Re: Is this worth it?

x800gt - 6600gt
x800 - 6800
x800pro/XL - 6800GT
x800XT - 6800ultra
x850/pro/xt - kind of inbetween the 6800 ultra and the 7800

Ohh.. Great and Thanks Pirate... But one last question, Will my CPU be having a high temperature after X800GT is installed???

512MB of Ram (upgrading)
P4 3.0GHZ

Mine Upgrade Comp :
ATI X800GT 256MB
2gig Of Ram

Worth it?

Re: Is this worth it?

Should not be any issues as long as you take the obvious precautions and keep things clean and dust free.
