X800XT-PE or 6800GT

khelben · 28th Dec 2005, 01:27 PM

Between an X800XT-PE and a 6800GT, which would you pick? I've a choice on 2nd hand cards and i'm having a dilema on which to choose from.

And yea i know it's a better idea to get the new cards like the 7800GT but, i'm not gonna change my mobo anytime soon so i'm stickin with AGP at the moment.

Thanks in advance

Isn't XT-PE a much faster card than 6800GT? But no SM3 though.

If you don't care much about SM3.0, go for the X800XT-PE

khelben · 28th Dec 2005, 02:57 PM

Ya the SM3.0 is my main concern here. How much important is it over the 2.0b?

LOL! You should ask that yourself.

how much price difference between them for 2nd hand? if me.. Nvidia.. all the way~

khelben · 28th Dec 2005, 03:47 PM

I would if i knew the answer. The thing here is not whether i want an SM3.0 or not but rather how much more important it is than the 2.0b

It's just another enhancement in graphics... that's why you should ask yourself whether it's important to you or not.

SM2b doesn't have HDR?

Well, I'm blur and didn't notice the difference between with HDR or none. But I got myself a 6800GT for RM1.3K.

FEAR, COD2, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory have HDR.
