hi there.. i search so many threads but i still dunno which should i take. I need lower price and better performance. I was awe of that x800gt becos it is so cheap and compare with x800xl the gap only 3-4% only. So anyone plz recommend me which to get. Thanks.

aw cmon' for pete's sakes just get the ATI X800GT.
it's obvious already, 6600GT won't beat the X800GT (in a lot of games, not all)

lower price = 6600gt
higher performance = x800gt

lower price & higher performance = something in your dreams eh...

if can get 256MB x800GT

IMO, i will still stick to 6600GT
newer tech with PS3 support and most game are more compatible with nvidia

whoa...if you can afford x800gt then just go for it then. pretty obviously 6600GT wont come close to it..unless we're talking 6800GT..

how much is x800GT??

er...
max around RM750 at lowyat

If it's going to be a price speculation again, I'm moving this topic tomprice and delaer's section. And anyway to gain a better look at what the mid rangers can do, have a look at [H]ardOCP's review and comparison of the X800GT and the 6600GT. Note however that they reviewed the Powercolor one's which are using R480 chips. Other brands are supposedly using R423 due to lower cost

He's comparing a 6600GT with an X800GT, not x800XT

whoops that was a typo, corrected

btw there's no need for a price speculation, its already available at the price stated above

go for x800gt.. I am buying 1 too... powercolor is better coz using R480 core so can oc higher... some said can unlock the additional pipeline by hardmodding it....

Nope, R480 pipelines on the X800GT have been cut, hence it's impossible to flash or mod it to XL/XT. IIRC I read somewhere that although the R480 uses the low-K dielectrics, it consumes more power as a 130Nm core and hence runs a little warmer than the R423. Unless you swap out the stock HSF, neither core will give you good overclocks. Don't forget that these R480s are binned out, so they don't clock very well.

BTW, are you looking for an AGP or PCI express card? AFAIK the X800GT comes only in PCI-E while the 6600GT has a bridged AGP version.

Performance wise, the X800GT is much better but the 6600GT gives you the advantage of upgrading to a SLI layout later.

correction, the R480's clocks better than the R423 actually.
it's just that R423 has 12 pipes IINM which makes it look sweeter on paper.

X800GT willl be retaliling for around Rm500+ if u do a direct conversion from USD, so might as well since its better and faster than 6600GT

why continue to speculate prices when the real thing is available here already?
its around RM750 for the 256mb version and RM650 for the 128mb version (with slower ddr1 rams)

yeah, very much off the currency conversion

http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=ODA5LDM=
the damn site compare 6600GT 128mb with X800GT 256mb
bullS*itz la if 6600gt 256 sure hell smoke the X800GT

not comparing apple with apple.


BTW: the fps is diffrent only 10fps i dont thing that good for X800GT .... X800GT 256mb only higher 10fps than 6600GT 128,,, damn 6600gt so strong!

Over here...there's no point getting the X800GT also cos the 12pipe X800 vanilla 12pipe retail about RM100 more than the X800GT only.

Might as well get that wan..the 66GT's however dropped to around $100 cheaper than the X800GT.

that's because only the 256mb version has the same mem clock as a 6600gt
the 128mb version is slower

i doubt that it lost because of the lacking 128mb of rams

come guys...VOTE for X800GT n 6600GT !

i oso still in consider buy nvidia o ATI ...guys..HELP ME !
