Have recently bought a new athlon64 based shuttle: an sn85g4v2 with 1gb corsair cas2 ram, audigy2, 3400+ etc. I also managed to get my hands on an x800 xt pe, which scored an admirable ~12,450 in 3dmark03 and ~25,500 in 3dmark01. However, atitool revealed that it was artifacting at stock speeds, so I've just today sent it back for a replacment. However...
The 6800GTs are becoming pretty widely available now, and I'm thinking of maybe jacking in the xt and going for one of these instead. The latest performance increases along with SM3 support seems to be turning heads. Has anybody done a comparison of the GT with the new or latest nvidia drivers to the XT (and not the PRO). Would I be in effect 'downgrading' my card by replacing it with a GT?? Sadly the Ultra is out of the question in my SFF box...
Cheers!
