Hmm, really?

Start here:

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2299&p=4


HL2:
----
X800XL: 96 FPS <- Highest
X800: 75 FPS
6800GT: 88 FPS
6600GT: 64 FPS <- Lowest

Doom3:
------
X800XL: 50 FPS
X800: 35 FPS <- Lowest
6800GT: 65 FPS <- Highest
6600GT: 45 FPS

Far Cry:
--------
X800XL: 54 FPS
X800: 40 FPS
6800GT: 61 FPS <- Highest
6600GT: 38 FPS <- Lowest

UT2004:
-------
X800XL: 68 FPS
X800: 63 FPS
6800GT: 69 FPS <- Highest (just)
6600GT: 53 FPS <- Lowest

Halo:
-----
X800XL: 52 FPS
X800: 41 FPS
6800GT: 57 FPS <- Highest
6600GT: 41 FPS <- Lowest

BF Vietnam:
-----------
X800XL: 114 FPS <- Highest
X800: 82 FPS
6800GT: 111 FPS
6600GT: 69 FPS <- Lowest

Wolfenstein:
------------
X800XL: 98 FPS
X800: 59 FPS <- Lowest
6800GT: 103 FPS <- Highest
6600GT: 71 FPS

Average:
--------
X800XL: 76 FPS
X800: 56 FPS
6800GT: 79 FPS <- Highest (just)
6600GT: 54 FPS <- Lowest (just)

So....

Taking the 6800GT at 100%:
X800XL: 96%
X800: 71%
6800GT: 100%
6600GT: 68%

Price:
X800XL: £170 (256MB, PCIe)
X800: £120 (128MB, PCIe)
6800GT: £230 (256MB, PCIe)
6600GT: £110 (128MB, PCIe)

Price/Performance (lower is better)
X800XL: 2.24
X800: 2.14
6800GT: 2.91
6600GT: 2.04

So what can you conclude from that?

6600GT is slowest, but has good best price/perfomance.

6800GT is a waste of money, performing 4% faster, but costing 35% more.

X800XL is an excellent card with excellent price/performance

X800 is faster than 6600GT.

....you were saying?

Oh sorry, I think you were comparing the X800 against a card twice it's
price and saying it feels stupid? Don't you think the 6600GT looks
stupid against the X800XL?

Using my apples/apples and orange/oranges comparison, I think you might
be a little wrong.

Aint all the cards above the 6600 GT alot more money ???. And the 6600
gt is still faster than the x800 no matter what that stupid sites
says. 99% of the reviews says its faster.

With a 5th grade grammer (intellect) level, you may have missed a few
salient points in the Anand review. Not that you would notice...

I gave you the prices. And the price performance ratios. The X800 is
9% more expensive for 4% improvement. Thats not "a lot". The X800 and
the 6600GT compete.

The 6800GT and the X800XL compete. The 6800GT is 35% more expensive for
4% improvement.

Explain why?

In fact... don't bother replying until you have 99 sites.

Obviously an adolescent (or overgrown adolescent) whose parents paid for the
6600GT that he is talking about in the nVidia newsgroup.

Hmm...our 'Digital Sheep' buddy posted last posted three days ago and still
no links to any reviews, let alone 200. I wonder why? :-)

Perhaps "99% of the reviews says its faster", a bit like "68% of
statistics are made up".

Never let the truth get in the way of exaggeration.
