those are my decisions, i dont feel like dealing with ATI personally...i've had way too many bad experience's with them. unless if the 9800 really is worth it i dont know.

thanks.

Your links dont work.

I would go with a 6800GT. They can be had for around $350. I plane to buy one before Battlefield 2 comes out.

If you REALLY wanna encave some skulls then go with a 6800 Ultra.

I'm with Britt on this one. Your skulls will look extra beefy and your tildes extra wavy with a 6800 ultra. If you're hurting for money you've been blowing on jeeps to bench, get a 6800GT.

The extra encavement power is gonna cost you about 450 or so

I assume that's $244 canadian? If not, you can get it for well under $200 at Newegg.

Blaezenfury · 03-26-2005, 05:17 AM

yes its 244 cnd. the gt 6800 is almost 400 here heh.

6600GT is where it is at for pure price/performance. I like the MSi for the better heatsink and insane software package, but I've seen some warnings about watching your heat and checking the bond on the heatsink tape if it starts to climb-apparently they have had some issues with the seal breaking and causing issues. Obviously, 6800GT is where it's at if money is no issue, but you're not going to be crying if you go with a 6600GT.
