Time to upgrade my Ti4200 and decided on Asus 256MbV9999GE/GT FX6800. What I
want to know is why the GE is £15 cheaper than the GT when the GE is
boasting it the best preformance card for the hardcore gamer, so whats on
the GT that makes it worth £15 more?

AFAIK, the GT has 4 more pipes, one more vertex shader and faster memory.
The GE has DDR3 memory, so that's not a factor.

I have a GE , its 12 pipe , the extra vertex shader unlocked with Riva , but
the pipes artifact when unlocked. Your experience may differ.

It has DDR3 memory.

The GE came with a nice flash holder with some games in it too , but youd
prob be better off getting the GT if its only a little more and you have the
CPU grunt to use it.

Mine reported the extra pipes and vertex shader unlocked but the performance
before and after didn't seem to bear that out.

I'd trade the GE with all the games for a GT in an instant.
