Whats The Best?

[Mista.Gee]

I'm a casual PC Gamer since the launch of the X360 and still play some games on the PC like Black & White 2 mainly sim games and some FPS games like Stalker Shadow Of Cynobal if it ever comes out. I've had a good look around at some of these cards and thought of only two but are they any good?

XFX GeForce 6800 XT Extreme Edition 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (PVT42E-UDE3) (GX-067-XF).

HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X800 GTO ICEQII TURBO 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (RX800GTO-256ICEQT) (GX-044-HT).

whats your price range?

 

[Mista.Gee]

Well i have seen a X850XT PE for £125.00p Which is awfully tempting at the moment.

 

[Semiskimmed]

hmmm, id stay away from the x850 tbh. 7600gt would be a better choice surely? maybe even a 7900gt if you can find one for about £140-150, they are out there

 

[Cyber-Mav]

for that price you would get far better performance from the 7600gt.

even the 7300gt would give those cards a good chase especially since it can be had for like 60 quid.

 

[Cyber-Mav]

sunlitsix what happened to your overclocking attempts?

 

[Mista.Gee]

So stay well clear of X850XT PE then?

BFG 3DFuzion GeForce 7600 GT 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-025-BG) What about that?

BFG 3DFuzion GeForce 7600 GT 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-025-BG) What about that?

I got that one from OcUK. Default clocks are 560/1400 and mine's running at 610/1600 without any mods and on the stock cooler.

2nd hand x800gto2 are worth looking out for. I have seen them go for as little as £70 and your basically getting an x850xt pe that clocks even higher.

Otherwise I'd say go for the BFG 7600gt.

 

[Mista.Gee]

X800GTO2 why?

XFX GeForce 6800 XT Extreme Edition 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (PVT42E-UDE3) (GX-067-XF).

Look at 6600GTs instead of 6800XTs, they're generally better.

whats your price range?

answer this question and then maybe we can help otherwise the best i would say is the x1900xtx

Well i have seen a X850XT PE for £125.00p Which is awfully tempting at the moment.

What a rip-off, you can get an x1800 XT 256mb for only £35 more which absolutely obliterates it.
