I have found both for around the same price. My primary purpose is gaming. Both are AGP 8x 128 mb. Which should I get? (I know that the 6800 is a later model, but I remember something about it not being as good as the 6600 GT.) Thanks.
Nope, the 6800 is a good mark better than the 6600GT in almost every test (for some reason city of heros was better on the GT but that could be some random issue). I have the 6800 and I like it for the most part. It has 4 more pixel pipelines and it's 256 bit while the GT is 128 bit. So go with the 6800:good: You can also use Riva Tuner to unlock 4 extra pipelines on the 6800 (like I did) for a total of 16 like the 6800GT
...Assuming of course that you've got an AGP version of the 6800. The PCIE version is actually modified in hardware, so it can't be soft-modded to a 6800GT.
if its gonna be Agp then id go with the 6800 since you can mod it into a 6800GT and unlock pipe lines and a vertex shader unit
I meant 256-bit memory interface, not Mb's, all AGP 8x models have 128Mb's or vram but 256-bit memory interfaces, more data tranfer:good: Yeah, with Riva Tuner...
Interesting point AT, oh well I wouldn't go for the PCIe version anyway, the memory clock is pretty bland, 600MHz, even the AGP version is 700Mhz, though it has 256Mb's of vram, go figure.
