Good deal on a great video card! No need to buy a 6600GT when this is $10 more, and can possibly unlock for you

Bastards, they cut off my search due to updating their inventory. Ah well. I tried.

Man that is a sweet card for 200 dollars.

 

[Corporate Thug]

burbank is only 7 miles from me. if only i needed the card...

There is no "bang for buck" deal even CLOSE to this.

If you get one that will unlock, this is much closer to GT performance than the price would indicate. If it won't, it's still better than anything else you can get for $200..

I concur. You're golden as long as you don't have capacitors rolling around in your box

Even after unlocking, the performance is not that close to GT.

 

[Mister Dark]

Don't you have to OC the memory too to get closer to the GT?

 

[screwd01]

yeah i have OCed the core and mem and i get 4039 in 3dmark05

i think this card is awesome for the price

And to think you must have paid close to 500 beans if not more for that monster.

What's the point of raining on his parade? I think we all know a card that a card that cost twice as much is faster?

I have a X800XT PE arriving this week. Would you be happy if I dropped in on your threads and pointed out the benchmarks I can beat you at?

Or how about if one of the guys over at nVnews that has SLI up and running told you how they're getting 50-70% better than you?

The point is, this thread is about 6800s, not 6800Us.

I would happily trade a 1000 points in 3DMark05 for $250 in my pocket.

@)(*$)(@* i hate christmas, i hate having to buy presents!!! BAH HUMBUG!!

 

[windsor]

Picked one up at local store and cancelled online order. At least one goes back to the stock.

 

[kamranziadar]

It is nice card, it is available in the store near me. But i have 9800SE i made it pro by unlocking the all 8 pipes, and it was only $140. Does it worth to upgrade? i don;t think so

 

[yhelothar]

Don't get one of these if you plan to be using analog on them
They are widely known to have VERY bad analog quality.
I have one and I witness it myself. Luckily I use DVI.

 

[powerup]

I've been waiting for the 6600GT AGP to drop a little in price. How much better is this card over the 6600 GT?

eveything will be faster,, except for the WMV and mpeg acceleration.

$407

The 6800Ultra/GT was the card that I felt would give me significant improvement over what I had and as well last much longer

 

[jiffylube1024]

Wow $200 for the card - that's a heckuva deal!

I've never kept a video card a full year, so "last much longer" is a moot point for me. They keep bringing out better cards within a year, so I end up wanting those.

Would the WMV and mpeg accel be just as fast with the 6600 GT or is this something that this card is lacking. im kinda new to this game. Also I know PNY makes a lot of comp stuff, but how does this compare to MSI and Gigabyte. I will not be overclocking i did read the review by anandtech about the 6600gt they did not mention PNY.
