8500gt or a x800 xt

[philbar71]

ok like the title says 8500gt or a x800 xt. which one performs better. my friend has my old 8500gt and he wants to play fallout 3 on med settings. would my other friends x850 xt be better or is the 8500gt better? i would have given him my x 1900xtx but that is dead along with my 6800ultra. so those are his only options, because he has no cash right now.

i have an x1900xtx

lol.. i would say the x850xt is better though

 

[philbar71]

hmm, would it play fallout 3 on med settings at like 1024x768? would you be willing to let that x1900xtx go?

that x800 xt looks better on paper

you guys reply fast!

 

[NosBoost300]

why did i write 850... lol i meant 800

looks like the the x800 xt would be significantly better, has way more bandwidth but it a very old card compared to the 8500gt hard to say. either way looks like u might have to play on low settings.

 

[NosBoost300]

does he feel like buying an x1900xtx for 40 dollars.. lol

 

[baron5]

looks like he might, lol seen how u gettin core i7, u might be the first on TF to get one?

 

[NosBoost300]

there is already an owner here

apnlife or something like that, its spelled weirdly.. he is the first... i'm the second

but.. i will be the first to hit 27,000 in 3dmark06

ap4lifetn is the first core i7 owner here to our knowledge. so yeah !

the 800 is a mad old card though, i remember when i thought about buying one way back when... *drifts off into thought about my younger days*
