Overclocking - 6800LE

Not overclocking - 6600GT

Or unlocking the pipes like I did (6800le).

He already said he won't be overclocking.

Does unlocking the pipes on the 6800 count as overclocking though? I mean it doesnt increase the Mhz or anything just pipelines so it shouldnt affect heat.

I know you said you didnt want to overclock (if it counts as overclocking that is) but take a read of this;

When someone tells me they want to know which card is best "without overclocking," I usually take it to mean without any modifications at all.

If the OP wants to unlock then I'd suggest the 6800LE, it seems to me that he's not interested in doing so though.

Think of it as free performance!

It DOES increase heat, read you're home works again...

thanks for the info on overclocking but the person i was asking the question for just wants a card he will put in and use. he has no interest in messing with settings or overclocking!

some good info there though for when i next upgrade my card. i didn't realise it was so easy to 'open pipelines'

Then 6600gt will be the best
