6600gt 256mb vs x800gt 256mb

[Binary Coder]

Which one do you guys think is best?

 

[4W4K3]

X800gt

 

[Qlutch]

Do you mean the X800XT? The X800XT is much better.

 

[Filip]

x800gt of course, way better

 

[Archangel]

i'm not shue about that.. since GT in ATIterms is a downgraded version of the x800

 

[GhostEye]

yup, i think the 6600 gt might be better. tricky ati lol. using gt as a downgrade, realy could fool many people

 

[Ambushed_]

6600 Gt!!!

 

[tweaker]

Well

X800GT: 8 Pixel Pipes, 6 Vertex Pipes, 256Bit GDDR-GDDR3, 128-256MB, 475/980 PCI-E

6600GT: 8 Pixel Pipes, 3 Vertex Pipes, 128Bit GDDR3, 128-256MB, 500/1000 AGP/PCI-E

ATI would deliver the best overall performance here, the difference is however not immense.

6600 Gt!!!

Is the worse overall performer of the two yes.

 

[Archangel]

as i said.. im not so shure but shouldnt the 3.0 shader tech give the 6600GT the cutting edge?

 

[kof2000]

since when is there a 256mb 6600gt?

 

[Binary Coder]

Ok should i get a x800gt or a x800?

 

[Archangel]

x800 because.. with nvidia cards, GT means a better version as the normal one.. but At uses gt as a downgraded card name.
(so you could it compare to a nvidia LE card )

 

[tweaker]

since when is there a 256mb 6600gt?

XFX, Gainward, Asus all offers them.

 

[Geoff]

i've never seen an 256mb 660GT before... but id say the X800XT is better then the 6600GT.

er.... its about the x800GT

With Pixel Shader 3, the 6600GT will be able to support games with PS 3, and the X800 won't. Pretty much what you'll get from PS 3 is better effects such as soft shadows and bump mapping.

 

[kof2000]

well is not found in newegg, chec kelse where.

 

[kof2000]

XFX, Gainward, Asus all offers them.

sure? i checked newegg they're 6600 non gt.

 

[4W4K3]

sure? i checked newegg they're 6600 non gt.
