6800ultra and 7800GTX (GPU'S)

[DoomUK]

I can safely say that I wuv my 7800 GTX

Maybe SLI'd 6800 GT/Ultra can out bench a single 7800 GTX (as can SLI'd 6600 GT beat a single 6800 GT, mind), but as of now, SLI'd 7800 GTX's are the ultimate desktop GPU setup, no question.

I'll be adding a second most probably later on in the year, unless the R520/X900 really, REALLY outperforms it significantly. Or I'll get the '32 pipelined 512MB Ultra Extreme OC' version of the 7800, or whatever, that nVidia no doubt release in a grudge match with ATI

Get a 7800GTX they have way better AA, and use less power as well. not to mention faster.

The 7800GTX has a 100+% performance boost over the 6800GT ultra. Just look at this. Look at the bottom of your screen.

Thanks for that linkie, Hacp

Well, now I'm even more assured that my money has been well spent

Ya you just have to spend more money on a high resolution monitor.

Who's going to play Doom 3 at that resolution anyways? Heck, even if my video card would allow me to play at high resolutions, I would still probably stick to 1024x768 or 1280x1024 and enable 4x AA and 8x AF. Because of the limitations of my graphics card, I play most of my games at 1024x768, no AA, 8x AF.

Just wondering, where do you see a 100%+ increase? are you talking about 2 7800GTX's vs 1 6800 Ultra, or what?

I can generally crank the games as high as they can go and still get decent framerates.

The 7800 GTX isnt worth it 2 me, at least not until i c how it performs against the X900

 

[Hacp]

Ok, I rounded up. Sue me.
