What Do U Think?

[bigsaucybob]

I am considering buying this card(link below) but I want to get someone elses opinion first. If you click on the detailed specs, is it just me or does the memory clock speed and core clock speed look a little low? Do you think this card is worth the price considering its an X800 XL and does it compare to the 6800GT?

Thanks

Are those specs even the right ones? They are so low.

Get nvidia as games are optimized for nvidia. SM3.0 support and FP32 gives them an edge for the future.

i cant afford to go with a 6800gt so ur saying i should go with a 6600gt instead of the X800 XL?

How about the 6800 Vanilla or non ultra than.

i dunno after reading the review on cnet.com about the x800xl i seem very tempted to go with it instead of the 6800gt. it out performed the 6800gt in far cry and half life 2.

Half Life 2 is optimized for radeon, far cry for nvidia... isn't it kinda wierd than that the x800xl beat the 6800gt in far cry? (Again I probably dont know what I'm talking about so please tell me if what I'm saying is wrong)

From what I know dont nvidia cards take a big lead in doom 3?

Oh and I'm not trying to say buy nvidia...

 

[bigsaucybob]

yea nvidia card should take a large lead in doom 3, thats why they did but everything else the X800 XL won.
