6800 128MB or 6600GT 256MB? |
|
|
Hi,
I have an AMD XP 2600+ with 1gb of ram. I am definitely going to get a
new video card and it's a toss up between the 6800 128mb and a 6600GT
256mb.
Which card will give me better performance?
Thanks |

From game benchmarks I've seen, the 6800 standard is a better
performer over the 6600GT I'm guessing because of it's extra 4 pipes,
but it seems it's not much over a 6600GT. In some games there was only
a few extra FPS. Not sure if the extra 128MB of memory on the 6600GT
would make a difference. |

I doubt the lower amount of memory would make a difference. Not one
substantial enough to justify going with the slower card. So long as it's a
standard 6800 vanilla, and not a 6800LE or something, the 6800 is a better
choice, IMO.

I don't know what the situation still is but my vanilla 6800, thanks to |
RivaTuner, has 16 pipelines working.
If you can get that action going then you're definitely ahead of a 6600GT.
