NOO DONT GO X800!!! 6800gs beats it in benchmarks. ie even beats x850xt!!! much better value for $50...

Um... but the X800 is:
1. 2 times memory at 512MB
2. 4 more pixel pipelines

?

pixel pipelines dont matter.

hes right, 6800gs is better

 

[G9]

But surely, memory matters.

How can this 6800 GS be better if it has less pipelines and 1/2 the memory?

 

[G35x]

pixel pipelines dont matter.

Ohh Really? Then why do so many people go on about how the ATI1900 has like 48 pixel shaders and watver amount of pipelines

 

[mr.monger]

well first off its a newer core architecture, second, 48 pipes is amazing thats why. just go look at the benchmarks for yourself you will see. also memory doesnt make much of a difference.

 

[G9]

Even if it's two times as much?

 

[mr.monger]

yeah even so, it really wont make much of a diff in most games so long as you have nuff system memory

 

[G9]

Your still missing the point... how is the 6800 faster?
