ATI X800 or Nvidia 6800GT Ultra?

[Guest lalo lolo1]

Well, the topic subject is pretty self explanatory. I want to upgrade from my ATI 9600Pro, which BTW is a good VC, but cannot make a desition.I have found the X800 can be found at a cheaper price. I think it must be because of the the newest X850.What do you guys think,Thanks,Leo

This is an easy one...suggest the new 256MB X800XL chipset...can be found from numerous manufactures for $299-$350. Not much slower then the X800XT-X850XT, which should be twice the speed of the 9800Pro.Review Link: http://www.guru3d.com/article/content/177/My suggested brand: http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp...N82E16814125174Only one problem, it uses the PCI-E (Express) not AGP bus...:-(

Hi gents, I agree with D.Enault that the X800XL is probably the best bang for buck. And I also believed they were only available for PCI-e --> wrong! For example PowerColor has such an AGP offering. Otherwise, there are a couple of display adapter threads in the other hardware forum (MS FS subforum). Good luck and kind regards Jaap
