By the time you get the XT-PE from Gateway, it'll only be worth $398. A couple day wait it reasonable, even a week is, but there's just no point in waiting a month for a slightly better card, when you can have a really good card at the same price today.Originally posted by: Rhoel
what about the x800xt-pe @ gateway for $398 that is backordered for a month or the 6800gt for $386 with tax and next day shipping that should be here in a couple of days from best buy?
Ina ll fairness, they weren't using the latest Det 61.45's in that review so it's possible there is better performance to be had from the GT than what that article would indicate.Originally posted by: Blastman
X800pro.
6800GT is faster in OGL -- X800pro is faster in DX (the majority of games) , with AA/AF ? and in shader intensive games.
In the ? hardware.fr ? review 8 games ?
UT3
Farcry
Tomb Raider
Splinter Cell
Il-2 FB
Warcraft III
Collin McRae 04
FIFA 2004
???with a mix of some newer like FIFA2004 and Collin McRae 04 ... the X800pro easily beat the 6800GT at 16x12 - 4AA/16AF. In fact, the X800 tied?chart ...? the 6800U. But considering the 6800?s were running a lower shader path in Farcry -- the X800pro actually was faster than the 6800U in that review. The X800?s were running higher quality Trilinear filtering too.
I also think NV dropped the ball with AA on the 6800 -- you only have usable AA up to 4xAA. The 6AA on the X800pro is much better than only 4AA. I can?t see paying almost $400 for a card that can do only 4AA.
