Re: X850XT PE or 6800 Ultra

Yes, it would be better, but it's not coming out in agp, so I'd just get the ati now.

Are you sure?

Eddy: Do you a couple of links to some benchmarks? :)

If the 6800gs won't come out in agp, I seriously doubt the 7800 one will.

Re: X850XT PE or 6800 Ultra

I've seen a lot of places, that it will come out.

Just you wait and see.

Can you please show where you found this information? Because I find it hard to believe.

I don't doubt the 7800gs will be coming out, I just doubt it will come out in agp.

Save yourself some cash - buy a 6800GT 256 AGP from Ebay, overclock it and see 6800 Ultra performance.

Or id you don't wanna buy it from ebay, i reccomend getting the 6800gt from newegg, and from ATi, teh X800GTO2, as it can unlock pipes and flash to X850XTPE. Or if u don't want the danger of flashing a card, u could always get a X800XL which would still be a very good card.

Re: X850XT PE or 6800 Ultra

Are u serious? WOw, that's unusual, cause i've seen ati cards beat their nvidia counterparts in vietnam and BF2. Maybe it's just because the X850XTPE is newer and overall better, but i dunno.

Yes ATI does beat Nvidia for BF series even though it's optimized for Nvidia. It's because ATI is better at D3D games. BF has very poor support for ATI cards.

yeah, i know about that, nvidia is betterfor open gl, ati is better for direct 3d. Anyways, for jackass, i have a link, problem is that the 6800ultra is in there, i would say compare the X800XL and 6800GT instead to show results: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/vid...ames-2005.html

Re: X850XT PE or 6800 Ultra

I'm not going to OC. Maybe I'm missing a lot which I've heard a lot of times before. But there's no way I'm going to OC my components.

On the X-bit laps benchmarks the nVIdia cards are good at higher resolutions (1280x1024, 1600x1200) and the ATi cards are better in lower resolutions (1024x768)

So.. If the option is between 7800GS, 6800Ultra and X850XT PE.

Which one should I chose??

Re: X850XT PE or 6800 Ultra

Again,look to my posts above. IF the 7800gs comes out in agp, then get it. Otherwise, get the ultra.

Re: X850XT PE or 6800 Ultra

Which brand from both Nvidia cards?

Re: X850XT PE or 6800 Ultra

X850XT PE gives more FPS, but doesn't support Shader 3.0 nor SLI, so that might be a problem for the future.

Well if I ever went for SLi it wouldn't be with a 6800Ultra nor 7800GS..

Shader 3.0 what exactly is that?
