hey .. im buying a new graphics card in a few days, and i need some input on a serious issue regarding the way it works
im looking to buy a PNY Geforce 6800 GT 256 MB
cpu is 2800 + Athlon XP a1 gig generic ram and an Asus Mobo(supports 8X agp and agp 3.0 whatever that is ) and a Ti 4400
since i was looking on some info on it, i found some forums in 2003 with people complaining that the 6800 Gt runs barely better if not a little slower than their Ti 4400 card, this due to the new direct x 9.0 graphics card actually leaving the CPU to do some more work that was previously done by the TI series. later on i found some early 2004 forums mentioning how the new Nvidia drivers have dealt with problems like this. Since im confused about the card and its performance, im asking you guys if you know anything about this, and if the 6800 GT is worth it with my 2800+ AMD AthlonXP CPU or if its not worth it on a semi-outdated processor like this.
