    Best POSSIBLE video card bang for buck??

    Isn't that over 50% more expensive than a GTO2 and so performance wise not much more of an increase for the extra outlay. There comes a point, as with most things, where you pay a great deal more for the latest newest thing that is only slightly better. Like in cycling where you pay a...

    Best POSSIBLE video card bang for buck??

    It's actually the GTO2 as in original post rather than the GTO. The GTO2 can be unlocked to 16 pipelines and 850XT PE performance with Bios mod, this can't be done on the GTO. Agree this is the best bang for buck which is why I've ordered one for my Shuttle in UK. Just waiting for stock.

    X800XL... good choice?

    And now the gto2 is out that can be unlocked to 16 pipeline and near equal to a 850 xt pe, why buy an 800xl ???? bang for buck that has to be cheapest option.

    X800XL... good choice?

    When I was looking 800xl was somewhere in between 6800gt and Ultra. Although now with the x800gto and the gto2 that can be unlocked to 16 pipelines and made virtually into a x850 xt pe, I would source the x800gto2.

    How does X800 Vanilla compare to GT and GTO??

    I believe in 4 days time. There is a countdownclock on microdirect website here in UK. If the 800 GTO Fireblade does hack to 16 pipelines and get near X850xt performance it will be worth me getting that for approx £120 compared to the x850xt I have seen for £200 locally. No wonder prices are...

    Which Graphics card for under £200 to fit in SN25P?

    1st mistake I have made is to think Shuttle had onboard I could use for a few weeks. So build is hampered by no graphics card. In the UK I can choose from the following at under £200: x800xl at £175 6800 Ultra at £160 x850xt at £195 Have read up as much as I can till my head hurts...

    Help needed with choosing x800xl or G800ultra

    Help needed with choosing x800xl or G800ultra

    The 6800 Ultra is a MSI OEM version. That any good? Can get for £180 new or a Asus version at £213. But £180 is x800xl money so really only want to pay that. £213 is nearer 7800gt money which I presume is better than a 6800 ultra.
