It smoked 6600GT bcoz of 256MB n 256-bit.....

if for new rig like amd 64 3000+ venice, 512mb value ram, nf4 mobo( probably msi neo4 platinum) which is betteR?

the x800gt is the better card, so no matter what kinda system u put it in it will still be better
no such thing as in an AMD X2 system the 6600gt performs better

PowerColor X800 GT
Memory & Bus Width - 256 MB DDR3 / 256 bit
Core Speed - 475 MHz

Good information for who r considering this GC....

any news for agp mode??????

I'd doubt and based on The Inquirer's rumour, a lot of them are holding out for the X800GTO

from the link & benching, i found tat this x800gt is far better than 66gt in terms of performance(even wif stock setting). from the price, most recomendded for budget user nice preview there

looks like hold on sale lah my card...need to do benchie and stats first...

Reading your specs, I'd recommend you to upgrade your platform first. No point fueling V-Power into an old beetle.

hey my fren say 128mb X800GT is onli DDR1 while 256mb 1 is DDR3 ...

answer: Yes

Sapphire X800GT 256MB 256bit 475Core 980Clock - RM750
Sapphire X800GT 128MB 256bit 475Core 700Clock - RM685

pergh..nice price maa..

but,need to change my old nf7-s mobo..uwaa..uwaa..

but if 128mb x800gt will better than 128mb 6600gt?

most important for me is drivers and stablality, if u get ati card, make sure u get a reliable brand, ~~ i encounter darn lots of driver conflict and instability even using thier official release....

this never happen to nvidia, well, maybe just my luck, but ati drivers are just too messy, i preffered guru3d ones~~

oh yah , most games nowadays optimise for nvidia more, so u must decides on wat games u play most ,so u 'll make the right decision on the long run~~

good luck~

yeahh.. the spec higher than 6600gt but not the price

ps : why need to waste money for 66gt as x800gt perform better??

You should read my review earlier. Here's the review itself


Same card except PCB is red in colour

are u sure you're updated on the latest prices?
6600GTs are cheaper than the X800GT for sure

By next month or so 6600GT prices are scheduled for another RM100 reduction. So it'd be pretty hard unless the X800GTO does deleiver what it promises which is budget end 12 pipeline performance.

maybe 6600gt can produce better quality & more details image due to SM3.0 support. Neway what for got a very nice image but cant play smoothly? In easy word lagging .. I'm sure x800gt beat 6600gt in most games & benchies. Who cares whether this x800gt is a rejected r480 core? Remember AMD64 3500+ clawhammer which most people said that is rejected athlon FX with half cache disabled? Yet many top overclocker use it coz of its good performance..
I'm not ATi fanboy coz last time i alwiz recommend 6600/6600gt to my friends who has only little budget..
