What's better?
Should I go with a 6600gt 128mb, or a regular 6800 128mb? Playing games
like BIA, WOW, and Chaos Theory on an AMD 3000+ with a gig of RAM. |

As far as Tomshardwares VGA Chart Summer 2005 (PCIE) is conserned, the 6600GT 128 MB outperformed the 6800 256MB in every single benchmark they ran. In some quite significantly. The 6800 however might be overclockable to improve it's performance beyond the 6600GT. http://graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...524/index.html |

The 6800 is faster than the 6600GT at defaults... |

Quite the difference in my opinion.... 6800GT or 6800 Ultra naturally are much faster, but the op asked for a comparison between 6600gt 128mb or a REGULAR 6800 128mb. |

True. The AGP versions seem to have reversed results (the link I posted was for PCIE cards). Here's the same page in english: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/gra...l#3d_mark_2005 Possible the 9800 256MB PCIE was actually an SE/LE card, though the test doesn't provide that information (at a quick glance). |

IMHO you should never, not ever, no never, buy a card based so heavily on its OC capabilities. Not to mention voiding all warranty if you do OC - and the sort of OC we're talking about here, which would include flashing the bios to a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VERSION OF THE CARD will without a doubt score you no brownie points with the manufactuerer - aside from this, you won't know if it will even work! And you could result in nothing more than a smoking puddle of plastic. No, you should never buy based on OC. Good OC potential is an added bonus. If you really want/ need the extra power that hardcore OCing will give you, then you're better off saving for an extra few months and buying the actual better card. IMHO, of course. |

Early versions of the 6800 AGP card have 16 pipelines with four of those pipelines being masked. On those cards, the additional pipelines can be unlocked. Tthe PCI-E versions of the 6800 are manufactured with only 12 pipelines so there is nothing to unlock. I'm not sure, but it is quite possible the current 6800 AGP cards are also manufactured with only 12 pipelines. -Scott |
