Im thinking of getting a new gfx card, im looking at two cards:

-Gaidwood 256MB 6800GT TD
-GeXcube 258MB X800 Pro TD

Right now Im running a fx5600, i would like to know, which would would be the better buy, and how much difference there would be (i have found the costs identical)

Thanks.

Depends on the games, both the cards rule lol

i would say the 6800gt, most can be overclocked to 6800ultra levels. the x800 pro, if its VIVO can be flash to xt.


its all about preferance, i would check the game bundels and what you get in the packaging

Both are great cards. I would lean towards the Nvidia because it seems to do better in more games.

Those are really the best options in that price range. I would look into other brands of the cards and see if you can pick up a better deal.

The XFX 6800GT and Ultra are well priced and supposed to be the best (according to reviews).
