x2 66gt's vs. 68ultra

[Juice476]

will x2 6600gt's overclocked to full be a 6800 ultra overclocked/not over clocked

 

[aj2003]

no

2 6600gts in SLI is approx the same as 1 6800GT. The ultra is alittle bit beyond that

 

[DJ-CHRIS]

However this also is heavily dependant on the game.

Some games a 6800GT can easily beat out 2x 6600GT's, and it can go vise versa

Single is better for the money

see i dont understand that i should at least equal those cards because there are 2 of them maybe if they were both fully overclocked

I dont think you understand, a 6600 is ONLY a 128bit interface. But the 6800 is a 256bit interface. 10 6600 will not beat the 6800 graphically. The only possible thing that can happen, is the dual 6600 might run some games better at higher resolution, or produce less lag. But a 128bit interface, cannot beat a 256bit interface.

 

[DJ-CHRIS]

Yeah it can codeine, look 6600GT vs 9800pro

A 1000mhz 128bit card is equal to a 500mhz 256 bit card.

Memory bandwidth is mhz*(bit/8)

 

[Codeine]

DJ-CHRIS, yeah your rite.

 

[diabloII]

don't get eh 512mb version...it's useless

256 is more than enough as i said
