oh tough choices

[spinal]

ok,

I wanting to ask a few questions...

1. what out of these gfx cards would you choose and why...?

- XFX GeForce PCX6600 GT Extreme Gamers Edition 128MB DDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
- Connect3d ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB DDR DVI TV-Out

2. what is the difference between this cards, like which ones better and which are worth the ££.

3. Would anyone know whats the highest fps rate you would get in games, mainly call of duty...

i got a 6600gt , awesome card...

[atholon]

Depends...are you looking to upgrade your motherboard too?

If you have AGP I'd go with the 9800 Pro...plus you can get it for cheaper

Well, if you can get either, go with the nvidia. It way outperforms the 9800

"Depends...are you looking to upgrade your motherboard too?"

Dont need to, im custom building and ordering all the parts soon. so just need quite a good card to go with.

"If you have AGP I'd go with the 9800 Pro...plus you can get it for cheaper"

Then the 9800pro is a nono, the mobo im getting supports 2x pci-e cards.

@ conscell-perry

nice, do you know what temperature the card reaches?
if you play c.o.d, what fps range do you get?

[atholon]

Yeah then go for the 6600... it is a bit newer to!

[Dr. Bullet]

Definately the 6600 then. Buy me one while you're at it

[Scattergun]

bad 6600gt, I have being told, mabye someone here can help, but I have being told that the 6600gt can not reach a fps of 125 or more in c.o.d even tho the 6600gt is a mid range version of the 6800gt?

But Im on the way to getting an ati card
OcUK ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB DDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express)
unless the 6600gt can hit 125fps+?

[Dr. Bullet]

Not true. In the THG lists I posted, the 6600 GT reached 196 fps

[atholon]

Which is more expensive?

[Dr. Bullet]

6600GT at Newegg for $161.50 (incl. shipping)

X800 XT at Newegg for $392 (incl. shipping)

sweet it does reach well over 125...

no im stuck between choosing a xfx 6800gt, ati radeon x800xt
or a xfx 6600gt

[Dr. Bullet]

Well, if you can get any one you want, the 6800 GT wins hands down

I hate to burst your bubble but from tests the X850 256mg currently kicks every other cards butt. So just rember that if u got 400 bucks get the X850 256mg!

wow kinda expensive...why get it when i can get it when the price drops... (don't even need it now)

[atholon]

yeah I was looking at the specs. it has a higher Core clock speed.

Only thing better would be dual GPU's like one of the Dual Geforce 6800 ultras
