256MB XFX Geforce 6800XT AGP DDR3 Dual DVI

[Craig321]

Hi,

My 6800GT 256MB keeps crashing in most games after about half an hour.

I checked heats and everything and they're all fine, it's an actual fault with the card (it has the same problem in my brothers completley different computer).

Anyway, I have about £80 saved up now and want to buy a new 6800 with it.

All I can find on OcUK is the 6800GS so I looked elsewhere and found a 6800XT (see title) which I really liked the look of.

Anyway, will this 6800XT be better or atleast the same performance as my 6800GT?

I'm not really sure on the clock speed etc. on my current grapic card - I can't remember but I know for sure it's a 6800GT.

Thanks,
- Craig.

6800xt is an 8 pipe card and will be slower than the 6800gt by quite a bit, the 6800GS is very slightly faster

So I'm looking at spending about £150 then?

256MB XFX 6800GS AGP, Mem 1000 MHz, GPU 350 MHz, 12 Pipes, Dual DVI-I, HDTV, S-Video/TV Out

That the one that's slightly faster than the 6800GT then?

Thanks,
- Craig.

Clearence isnt B-grade, thats why there are 2 diferent sections.
