8 pipelines vs. 12 pipleines

[the drizzle]

what is the difference between 8 pipelines and 12 pipelines in a graphics card?

 

[desiboi]

12 pipelines are better.

 

[Nubius]

same as traffic and cars. More roads allows less congestion which in graphics terms means more graphical data can flow thus better performance

Thank you. I take it it would be worth the extra money to get a card with more pipelines?

 

[C0RR0SIVE]

depends on the card but id say yes....

 

[beedubaya]

Yeah...what 12 pipeline card are you talking about? Most of the 12 pipe cards were failures, such as the 6800 (NU) and X800 Pro. Go for a 16 piped card, which you can get for cheaper than the 6800 NU in the X800XL from ATI.

[Mr. Switch]

WOAH!!! beedubya is a moderator! nice one bee!

 

[Chankama]

lol yeah. And how does a person go about coming a mod? Daily post rate > 15, post count > 1000, etc. etc.

 

[Nubius]

doesn't really have to do with post count as the other mod is 'giranworms' who only has like 800 or so..........I don't think I've ever seen him around the hardware or OC'ing though which is basically what we needed.

Soooooooo basically beedub gets to handle all the spam and whiners of hardware and OC by himself

Good luck
