6800GT or 7800GT with SLI MOBO?

[no_Wedge]

Evga has a deal for a free sli mobo if you buy a 7800gt, and since the 7800 is only $100 different then the 6800 I was thinking it was a better buy.

what do you think?

The 7800 GTX didn't impress many people as much as it should have, and the 7800 GT has a slower core clock. I have no personal experience with it, but most people thought it wasn't worth the money. Your call.

depends, what motherboard comes with it?

the mobo thats comes with it is and eVGA Nforce 4 SLI mobo?? Never heard of it, but kinda resembles a DFI lanparty with a few thing missing and a LED display added.

How much is it costing for the whole package (6800 GT/7800 GT & mobo)?

 

[TipsySmile]

7800gt the one hes looking at with the mobo is 450, but there are cheaper ones for 400.

6800gts are now in the 290- 300 range if hes looking at a PCI express card.

But yeah, i was in the same situation as you no_Wedge, I decided to go with the 7800GT, Hopefully i made the right choice. Will found out when it gets here tuesday As long as newegg doesnt F up again.

Edit** Forgot about the benchmark that [H]ardocp did:
