7900 best card evr!!!!!!1111
I'm pretty sure the X850XT PE beats the 6800 Ultra. According to http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=179&card2=57, the X850XT PE has a 37.76 GB/s thoroghput for RAM, whereas 6800 Ultra has a 35.2 GB/s thoroghput. Also, the X850XT PE boasts a 3DMark05 score of 6395, where the Ultra only pulled off 5218. I think it's safe to say that the PE is the winner. That said, I'll have to say the 6800GT was pretty good bang for the buck...most everyone had one back in the day while I still had my cowardly FX5200MisterDNA said:BFG 6800 Ultra Overclocked AGP
by itself, it's not all that impressive these days, but unlock the professional capabilities with RT and you've got a card more powerful than the Quadro FX4000. Almost like a 4400, but with AGP and half the RAM.
Best card you can get to top out an AGP system. All it lacks is Dual Link DVI. And when you can get an H2O version that will damn near hit Ultra Extreme speeds while unlocked, there is none higher (on AGP). It will flat out spank a Quadro FX4000.
FX4000
375MHz core
1000MHz RAM
12 pixel pipelines
6 vertex units
4.5 Gtexels/s
133M triangles/s
6800U OC
425MHz core (up to 440 or 450 if you're lucky)
1200MHz RAM
16 pixel pipes
6 vertex units
6.8Gtexels/s @ 425, 7.2Gtexels/s @ 450
? triangles/s
Hit 1200MHz on your RAM and you're looking at 38GB/s RAM bandwidth. The FX4400 and FX4500 give 33.6GB/s by comparison. I don't know how to calculate the extra kick of the four added pipes plus the added core speed, other than texels. Can anyone tell me how that's calculated?
I've been an Nvidia fan since the late 90s when my brother bought a TNT. Good drivers and ability to be a gamer card as well as serious DCC were what won me over. If Nvidia's good enough for SGI (the XIO VPro solutions are Nvidia), they're good enough for me.
I just want one. Sure wish AGP could have 512MB, though.
Heh...I remember playing NASCAR 2003 or something on it and thinking to my self "ehh...whats with those wierd looking textures ahead of me?" I didn't know that AF wasn't turned on, and when I did turn it on, I couldn't even play the gameCereal Killer said:this is far from the best video card of all time, but it was definatly very popular, the FX5200.
