I KNOW 7600GT is better than all the rest listed.
But what i want to know is the card with the best bang for the buck.

XFX 6800xt (256ddr3, 256bit ...)
$110 CDN

Radeon X800XL
$130 CDN

BFG 7600GT
$190 CDN

I think for the performance and money value,
X800XL is the best choice ALTHOUGH 7600GT is better.
6800XT is a good deal also.

The 6800XT would be last, as it's a joke.

The 7600GT is the best, and if you can spend the extra $60 (over a $130 X800XL), then go for it. If you're budget minded, the X800XL is better since you save some money.

I would go for the 7600GT though.
 
eVGA GF7600GT for 169.98 after rebate @ NCIX;
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=18390&vpn=256-P2-N554-AX&manufacture=eVGA&promoid=1064

At the very least pricematch that.

That's the best bet IMO.

The X800XL is very nice, pretty fast, and currently at great prices. But the GF7600GT is better enough to justify the expense, especially with useable SM3.0 features plus FP16 blending for OpenEXR HDR, so they're nice little perks.

Also the chicks love the GF7600GT, all the cool kids are buying them. :twisted:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Chicks love cute little yellow 4 cylinders too, so I guess given their taste in cars, the cute little 128-bit 7600GT makes sense as a chicks card. :p

7600gt is close to x800xl...
there are ups and downs ....nvidia has openEXR but only 128bit....ati don`t have openEXR but instead muscles 256bit.......

you did not gave as enough details about the amount of video mem....

7600gt seems a better choice but remember those 128 bit show their weakness in many games like oblivion...

as for 6800xt ..out of the question..remember that xt for nvidia is the lowest posible ..lower than le...xt for ati is top of the series (except for xtx for x1900) and xl for ati is under xt

on a scale from 10 to 0 ...7600gt and x800xl will be in the top swapping their places in same games..and 6800xt will be on the lowest posible level..



good luck

Dude, nice analogy.
Thx! Grape had me rolling with his comment, so it was an easy response. :D Laughter sure is good medicine. Just as when they buy cute chick cars, some male 7600GT owners will take offense to owning a "chick card". Oh well, their problem... Real men have X1800XT's :twisted:




(men who still play games anyway) :wink:

Reply, I'd almost believe it. I know plenty of 40+ year old who still game; some of them daily. People who were kids/teens when arcade/atari/activision/intellivions/vic 20/ c64, etc. came out, got hooked and still see it as enjoyable.

I roll with an x800xl, only paid 140$ Canadian for it brand new, and I was able to push 600/600 and then run 570/570 stable for 15 min before the power connector shorted out (i think my shitty power supply had a hand in that)

550/550 runs stable and is a respectable overclock for a card that starts at what? 430 480? or something.

At any rate, its cheap and actually overclocks better than my friends x800xt
