eVGA Geforce 6600GT or Radeon X800 GTO or GeForce 6800 XT

[Kyle W]

Hello. Thank you for looking in on this thread. First I just wanna say I wont be playing any FPS. Only afew RPG but mainly RTS games. This isn't going to be a gaming PC but I'll do some gaming on it. I'm getting the MSI K8N Neo4-F NVIDIA motherboard (dunno if that matters) and 1 gig (2x512)ram. I think the 6600GT cant be compared to the other 2 cards but I'll put it up anyway. I am on a budget and about $185 is the most I wanna spend on a card. Any comments or suggestions will be great!

6800GS for $196.00 at Zipzoomfly is the best gaming card out there in the under $200.00 range.

Just save $11.00 more, and get it.

Also how long do you think it will last me? A year maybe?

yes, it will last you a good while. many people have overclocked the 6800GS past 500mhz on the core and up to 1200mhz on the memory.

"THE XFX Geforce 6800GS 266MB XXX Edition is reviewed at hardwarezone. This overclocked version is SLI compatible and comes with a core/clock speed of 485MHz/1.1GHz. HWZ was even able to push it even further which yielded some pretty impressive figures, especially over the reference card. It is right up there with the 6800 Ultra at half the price."

Another vote for the 6800GS.

If you are interested in RPGs then I assume that you are looking forward to Elder Scrolls IVblivion? You will likely greatly appreciate the extra oomph the GS will offer over the others you are considering.
