X800 XT vs 6800 ultra

[Techy]

thought these benchmarks would interest!

click me

the x800 XT has got the 4 extra pixel pipes making 16 in line with the 6800 ultra.

both very nice cards,

gonna start saving pocket money.

thats intruiging - in all the benchmarks i have seen, the X800XT ALWAYS comes out just a little bit better than the nVidia equivalent...

 

[Techy]

if you read through the review they've tweaked the 6800 a bit, must have given it the edge.

i'd still got for the xt though!

 

[ChristopherP]

oh right - theres a few good reviews around.

I would go for the XT also - better performance and also better price.

 

[Reefsmoka]

I'd definatly go for the X800, Its cheaper, generates less heat than a 9800XT and takes less power than a 9800XT . Ati really are giving Nvidia the run around since Nvidia brought out the FX range :|.

 

[ChristopherP]

nVidia do have their advantages - dual screen gaming. V. dificiult wit the radeon series

 

[Reefsmoka]

Personally i've never seen any benefits from dual screen gaming, im happy with just one, 2 might get a little confusing. But i supposed you could get used to it, then again the electricity bill for the other monitor would be owwwwww at least £1 extra a month!

 

[ChristopherP]

for things like FS2004 it is v handy - 2 different views on one screen. it is one of the only games out that supports it

Dual 17" 15ms TFT screens would be awesome...

 

[Reefsmoka]

but you'd need to be working dual jobs to buy them .

I assume FS2004 is that flying game you put some printscreens up of. I aint really a flying typa guy, give me a good ole frag em up FPS any day of the week.

Cant bloody wait for Halo 2, Half Life 2 and Doom 3! Its sequal crazy this year.

 

[ChristopherP]

yeah sure is.

i enjoy FPS too - call of duty has to be my fave...

 

[kalbal]

i think i would have to say i like the 6800GT.

looks like a mod overclocker, little more expensive than the x800 pro, but beats it in some benches.

6800GT =£290.81
x800 pro = £290.81

lol

no dif after all
here is the review

£352 - X800XT kicks ass! has the 16 pipelines not 12 that the X800pro has and a whole bunch of awesome features.
