| 485862 | 2006-09-20 05:30:00 | What would be a better video card for someone on a budget? I have read some reviews for 6600GT vs 6800GS and people reccomend the 6800GS however I have noticed that the review is good because it is a 256mb/256bit card but the ones I am looking at are both 128mb/128bit cards, would the 6800GS still be better, also are some brands of card better than others? | LXXXVIII (6863) | ||
| 485863 | 2006-09-20 05:46:00 | If you're on a REALLY tight budget, get a not-so-good, extremely low-end PCI card. :D | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 485864 | 2006-09-20 05:50:00 | Get the 6800GS, it has more pixel pipelines that the GT regardless of whether you have 128 or 256 bit versions of each card. I did a google search and the general consensus is that the GS is a better card. Take a look here (www.google.co.nz) Cheers chiefnz |

| 485871 | 2006-09-20 06:42:00 | I'd stick with what you have then and save up?, you wont get a card to drive 12x10 at decent rates for $200 and if you upgrade the monitor to LCD, the native res will also be 12x10. My card is getting tried, and I'm looking to upgrade also.! |
