which card to choose?

I was gonna get an X800GT but have noticed X800GTO cards for not much more - i have linked (i hope) to the cards and i see the GT has 475mhz clock speed and 8 pixel pipelines while the GTO has 400 mhz clock speed but 12 pixel pipelines. This means nothing to me and wanted to know if it is worth the extra £25 for the GTO.

It will be going with an Athlon 3000+ Venice,2 x 512mb PC3200 and an Asus A8N-E board.

The extra money is worth the difference for the GTO.

 

if you can afford it, go for the better card

 

4 extra pipelines are far more important than 75Mhz. MHz means very little in the scheme of things. You can always Overclock anyway. Go with the GTO man

 

Thanks for your advice - i ordered a sapphire x800gto - got it for £114 from ebuyer.co.uk which is cheaper than some places were selling the GT version. Now the fun starts next week when delivery arrives when i have to install new cpu,memory,video card etc onto mobo which i have never done before!

 

We are here if you need us!

 

Sweet deal man, hope you love it!
