Is this GFX card any good? Plzz

[Rickydvt]

hi,

still trying to find a decent gfx card for my limited funds!

Galaxy - GeForce 6800GT 256MB W/TV/DVI 256bit GFX Card’

or this

New ATI Built Radeon X800 PRO 256MB video Card £75

is that a good GFX card for under £80?

Cheers.

AGP or PCI-E? Also what are the rest of your system specs? Also is £80 the max or can you go a bit higher?

Makes it easier to say one way or the other whther that card is a good fit, or if something else would be better.

i will struggle to top 90 at the min mate. due to just buying a new monitor.
im on an AMD Athlon 2.6 / 1G DDR.
I just didnt know if those 2 cards were cheap for what they are.
top cardi posted is AGP mate.

I don't mean the card you posted (neither of which indicate whether they are agp or pci-e), but whether YOU need agp or pci-e.

Also Athlon 2.6 is about as ambiguous as you can get. Is it an AthlonXP or an Athlon64, 2600+ or running at 2.6 ghz?

P.S. Links to the cards would be better.

i believe that the 6800gt outperforms the x800 pro so i would go for that..it also supports Shader model 3.0, which isnt rlealy necessary but nice to have

with the 6800gt u will be prob high/some medium settings

Yeah, nVidia is better than ATi

Buy a OcUK 7900 GS. £20 more. Biggest bang for your buck.

simple answer to your question is the 6800GT will be a good card and runs BF2 very well, dont bother with everyone else trying to tell you to buy something else

^ the 6800gt is a good card but it disappointed me a little bit since i had expected to play the game on all high since this was like the best card out there when the game was first released

Intel(R) Pentium 4 Processor 3.0 GHz
BFG Geforce 6800GT OC 256MB AGP 8X
1 GB DDR RAM - that's why

you need at least 1.5 gb (2 gb is better) to run everything on high smoothly.
