6800GS vs X800 Pro

[jewellgm]

Hi All,

I've currently got an ATI Radeon X800 Pro in my computer. I'm making the system a dual-boot with Linux. Due to driver stability, I'd like to switch to an nVidia card. Does anybody know how a 6800GS compares in performance to an X800 Pro? (This is an AGP system, by the way.)


Thanks!

Its either going to be a little better or on par with it. Only reason I say this is because, the 6800 GT and the X800 Pro were basically on par with each other and the GS is the same as the GT if not better when you overclock it. Now this may be off, but im sure its somewhat accurate.

Thanks for the quick response. As long as performance is "on par", as you say, then it will be sufficient. I don't know if this is a phase, or whether this is more permanent, but I'm getting out of the gaming mode. I'd like to be able to play what I currently own, but I don't see myself purchasing much in the near-to-medium future....
