performance gain 6800-7600?

I would think a pretty good one (if you mean th 7600gt) it has 4 more pipes, more memory, and higher clock speeds.

Same number of pipes...and their memory bandwidths are identical...(7600gt clocks are higher, but its 128bit where the 6800 is 256)
 
Soo.....better or worse?

My problem is I have a 6800nu with an Asus mobo and a 3200+ socA.

I'm getting a 3200+ A64 and some nice 939 mobo and I am getting a graphics card too. want something better than my 6800 for as little money as possible.
 
6800nu--6800gt--7600gt--7800gt

I have one now and its a speed demon.

I think its the new bang for buck king, not to mention performance per watt king. I think XBitlabs has a good review regarding performance per watt.

Much better, if you cant put down 100$ more for a 7900GT, a 7600GT would be better than youre 6800.
 
Well I didn't want to actually go PCI-e yet, but the market is forcing me and in the long run it will save me money to do it now. Then by the next go around I just need to get the best graphics out and a new CPU. For christmas my parent's said they would get me the best stuff I want kinda as a college gift since I'm getting a full ride to a nearby college that has a good CS program. Sooo, no dorm fees since I'm goin to stya home first couple years, no student loans, just gotta pay for books...and I get a beastly ass computer in about a year for doing well :)
 
And will promptly fail your first semester by playing games all the time instead of studying.

Been there. Done that.


:D

what about a 7800? are 7800's dead?

the 7800s are still nice cards...but I don't think the pricing will be any better than the 7900s...
 
i went from a 6800GS to the 7900GT... simply amazing how much faster it is. :eek:

and the GS wasnt exactly a slouch running at 415/1.3. although the gt has twice the pipes running at 575/1.59, not to mention its a different arch.

try to unlock the extra pipes on you 6800 with riva tuner and see if that helps alittle

I've had it since they came out and my pipes are not able to be locked. My extra shader was though :)

But the problem is that the 6800 is agp not pci-e and I kinda wanted to go pci-e
