Which to choose?

GeForce 6800 128MB or ATI 9800XT 128MB??

Performance wise no idea, but 6800 is cheaper

 

[Mik3y]

geforce 6800 hands down.

 

[Schadenfroh]

The 6800 by far
1. Far superior Doom3 performance
2. 4 more pipelines
3. DirectX 9C support
4. 6800 is faster than 9800xt in nearly every game

 

[Actaeon]

Geforce 6800 would perform better, and has DirectX9.0c support.

With the 6800 cheaper, sounds like a no brainer to me.

 

[kelvin1704]

How about Half Life 2 performance?

 

[Mik3y]

k, the 6800 beats the 9800XT in everything. its newer and superior. dont let price get to you. you can currently even get a 6800 gt for cheaper then the 9800 xt (if you look at the right place) and its faaaaar better in performance. btw, there is no such thing as a 9800 xt 128mb. its called the radeon 9800 pro.

Since the new Nvidia architecture provides much better shader PS2.0 shader performance and more pipelines and vertex units, you bet 6800 will be faster in HL2 as well.

No, there is 9800 Pro.

There is 9800XT and 9800 Pro. At least still on my market.

youll have to wait for the game to come out to know that, from the looks of the beta, it will run faster on nvidia, but that is a beta and NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE FINAL GAME WILL PERFORM LIKE

I need some help here. I'm looking for a HP PC that is able to support the following software :
1) Adobe Photoshop
2) Adobe Illustrator
3) Ink Design (Colour Separation Software)
4) 3DsMax Release 6
what will be the minimum recommended Hardware requirement ?
Thank you in advance.

mabye you should make your own thread...

and the 6800 hands down, save money and get a way better card.

Before someone comes in here and starts pimping his "9800XT", I say go for the 6800 as it will smoke the 9800XT.

 

[kelvinwong76]

Have anyone heard of Intel® Pentium® 4/Xeon? hp workstation xw4100 series ? Is it sufficient ?

 

[Polishwonder74]

Threadjackaaaaarrrrr

Does anyone have any kind of proof that the Nvidia 6800 will outrun its ATI competition in HL2? I'm getting my first taste of Doom 3 right now on my old GF3 and I'm warming up to the new idea of a hot new graphics card.

 

[caz67]

6800 easily.

 

[Munkies123]

For the price you pay the 9800 xt is a crappy card.

 

[RadiclDreamer]

What about HL 2

Who cares about that piece of garbage?

that was true when it came out, and still true today.
