6600 GT vs. 6800 GT overclocked

Greetings!

Since I cannot afford to buy a proper graphics card, I am currently planning on buying a "stop-gap" card. A graphics card that will fill up the void till I move out from home and buy my own PC. I have found two offers that could serve this pourpose.

On one hand, I have a offer of 6600 GT for 60 €. On the other, I have a offer for a serially overclocked 6800 GT with two ventilators for 88 €. My question is simple. Is the 6800 GT worth the additional 28 €?

Both graphic cards are AGP and I plan to use either at the 1024x768 resolution.

More about : 6600 6800 overclocked

I got another offer for a 7600 GS. Still need to negotiate a price but the person who is related to the seller says he will probably want 60 € for it.

One question. Do you think 60 € is too much for a 6600GT or 88 € for a overclocked 6800GT?

Is this 2007? Why would you pay 88 € for a 6800gt? For about the same price you could get a x1950gt or a 2600xt. (i assume you want AGP).


Em...where? Retail stores have the worser 7600 GS for that amount of money and the 2600XT for about 150 €.

Wow you really know European pricing :whistle: 

X1950Gt & 2600XT= €150 +. Why pay double for a dying format that could only get a maximum 30% incease in frame rates?

why cant he get a x1950something they are better performance than the 6800 and im not great on the conversions but you can get a decent one for around 120... its stupid to get either 6600 or 6800.

Most definately sir.The 6800GT sports more pixel pipelines,(16,compared to 8 for the 6600GT).It sports 256 megs of ram with a 256 bit interface,running 2ns ddr3 memory.This is a nice card,but does get a tad warm.But to answer your question,yes,it is worth spending the extra few pounds.Goodluck.

I agree about the 6series being outdated...
I don't know how the prices on vidcards goes in Europe but can't you find an 8series or a HD2600XT? Here, it costs about the same as the 6800GT but performs much better...
