well ok, I have the money to buy either, and I know that the GT isnt going to be sold for very much longer. But what should I get? I've heard the gs performs nearly identical to the gt with less pipes... and better in some areas...so am I going to be held back by this card because of the smaller amount of pipes with new games?
XFX 6800gs
core 485
pipes 12
mem clock 1100mhz
256 mem
$215
Aopen 6800GT
core 350
mem 1000mhz
pipes 16
256 mem
$275
the clock/core on the gs is faster, by far.
but less pipes..
also,
I'm looking to order 1 gig of memory this paycheck, and another next..
what is some good overclocking ram that with 2 gigs will be under $300 total?
if I can get it for like 200 and not have any real difference with a $300 set, I would prefer that.
THere are just so many choices for ram that I'm just utterly lost on picking between all the different types.
sigh, im a tad confused
