2 Video Cards

[Otterah]

ATM I have a saphire 9800pro 128mb card, and I want something that will keep me going good till atleast next X-mas.

I was looking at a a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130203

my friend is getting a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102532

But i dont even want to argue with him about what ones better because really i have no clue.. what one do you think will run games like WoW or BF2 better on highest settings?

THe 6800GT is the better card between those two.

Definitely get the 6800GT, it has an extra quad of pipes over the Radeon (16 vs 12).

Thanks allot.. he said something like his had more MHz? Big diff?

His has a slightly higher core speed, but yours has about 300Mhz more memory speed. Only real advantage of his is that it has OpenGL 2.0, yours is 1.5. But the 6800GT would still be a better choice.

Sadly that 6800 is out of stock..

Is this the same card?
