Asus En6800gt

[ownage]

the GS has more pipes, faster clock speeds, and some insane ocing potential.

Sorryu, been a bit of a misunderstanding... I meant an ASUS Extreme N6800GT not a 6600... any thoughts...

whats so good about the 6800GS over the 6600GT

everything

The 6800GS is quite much like the 6800GT. The GS has higher clock speeds, don't know if there are any other major differences.

and no1 answered my 1st question... "Also, on the sheet it says the card has the following modes: Dual DVI, Dual VGA, DVI+VGA, DVI+TV-out

Can the card outside Dual DVI + TV-out?"

Let's put it this way. How much are you willing to spend on a video card?

 

[JoshSpence]

as much as it takes for a decent dual dvi + tv-out video card that will get the job done

 

[TRDCorolla1]

Wow, as much as it takes. Ok, here goes:

Decent for the price

Actually, it's more of an understatement. It's a GREAT video card. Dual DVI and S-Video (to TV) output. Whoa, I want that one.

Let me put it into perspective for you...

7800GTX = $814 AUS
7800GT = $646.80 AUS
6800GT = $559.90 AUS

Is it really worth it?

 

[TRDCorolla1]

Dang, $646 AUS!!!! US has it for cheap compared to that price. I think you should settle for a 7800GT then. It's definitely worth it. As good as the 6800GT are, they are getting kind of old, but at the same time, powerful in gaming too. The 7800 series is brand new stuff. I would try to get the GTX if you can, but if money was a factor like me, get the 7800GT.

 

[JoshSpence]

what makes the 7800GT better than the 6800GT ?
