No.

Depends on what you have now. But there are better cards for that money

 

[angry_ducky]

No.

I'll say it again, just for emphasis: NO

The 6800XT is not a card which I would recommend.

Wrong. 6800XT is the wost card ever. Don't touch that crap with a 10ft pole. ANYTHING is better than a 6800XT.

6800XT is a scam; don't fall for it.

WHen you buy a 6800XT, you help support terrorism.

LOL!

Terrorism? So september 11th, the guys who flew there all had an pc with an 6800xt in it?

LOL!

And the 6800xt isn't THAT bad as long as you open some more pipelines, unless it's the NV41 core. If it is you will just have a shitty card.

Not necissarily. They might have used 6800LEs.

All I'm trying to say is that the 6800XT isn't one of the best cards that NV's churned out in recent memory.

Exactly. 6800XT is the worst video card ever. I hate those things.

You're totally blasting the card, but have you ever actually used one?

I have one in my second Rig. Scores 5002 3dmarks in 05. You want me to give the comparison link?

What i didn't mention is that it's fully unlocked

You can find X1600Pros (scroll down) for £67.99 as well as the new AGP 7600GT (scroll down) for £114.99 at OverclockersUK. The 7600GT destroys both the 6800XT and the X1600Pro.

6800XT SUCSK MONKEY BALLZ, WORST CARD IN THE HISTORY OF TIME, NVIDIA'S STUPID LITTLE SCAM. jUST BECAUSE IT'S "6800" DOESN'T MEAN JACK SHIT. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT CONSIDERING OF THINKING ABOUT THAT CARD.

Talk about emphasis....

 

[FeareX]

Lol, i dont see why you people all are so obsessed with "not buying the 6800xt".

It's just a video card, it has overclocking potential, just buy it of ebay and you have a nice card to experiment with. A friend of mine had one and it got around 5000 in 3dmark05. Thats nice for the price in my opinion.

I'm just trying to make a point that the 6800XT is a crippled 6800, and it's not worth it when you can get a 7600GT for about the same price.

How many pipes have you unlocked it to?

For the record, my X600 is the most powerful GPU that I've ever used. I'm waiting for DX10 to upgrade because I want an upgrade that will blow me away.

And a 3DMark score means what?

The 6800XT is pretty much a 6600GT with a bigger name (obviously a different core). Before we continue bashing the 6800xt, we should ask what games you are playing. For the price, you definitely could get something better, but if you don't need it, there are options cheaper that will be just as good.

The only problem I really have with that card is it is 128-bit, at least look at a 256-bit one if you can.

 

[NaDa]

6800xt is scam. Its 8 pipe GPU. Maybe if it unlocks then it would be good but it risky to buy and hope it will unlock.

Its a 6600GT with a different name. You can get muh better for the price.

This card reminds me of the 5200fx series, what a rip off !!

He can join the 5000 marks 3dmark05 club now. :lol:

Yes. I wish I hadn't quit playing piano; my cousin can play a lot of their songs on the piano. If I ever learn to play my guitar (lack of motivation, laziness), it will be a different story. I've had my guitar for almost a year; I only know two chords.

It's a little better. Some 6800XTs have 256-bit memory. The 6600GT, like the 7600GT, was an amazing card for the price; the 6800XT is just a crapped out 6800.

This card reminds me of the 5200fx series, what a rip off !!

Don't get me started on the FX series; I hate all of them with a passion.

If you don't want playable framerates then get the card, it's a TPOS, unless you're playing Quake II.

Whatchu talkin bout? The FX series was like the Conroe of CPUs in its day, except with a better name :lol: .
