6800 vs 6600 GT

[GreySteelFox]

whats better, a 6800 plain or a 6600GT?

6800, if you get a 6800, get the apollo, it has all the piplinesand vertex shaders unlocked. So its almost a 6800gt.

thats not really the answer i was looking for

is a 6600 GT better than a 6800 plain with nothing on top?

No. A 6800 is better because it uses a different chipset and different graphic architecture. Plus it has 4 more pixel pipelines. A 6600GT is a 6600 with just some extra speed, the 6800 is a completely different chipset and a completely different card. I think that answers your question...

EDIT: Here's some webpages and specs directly form nVidia...

And then this page, which compares 6 Series cards.

I had an MSI 6600GT and then upgraded to a bog standard 6800.

They can be overclocked MASSIVELY. Jumped up 3000 points in 3d mark 03

what does the 6600 GT match up with for ATi's? like radeon X700 pro, or further?

lol i think a x800 if im not mistaken, the x700 i think is the competitor but the 6600gt owns it
