Which will perform better with an Nforce4 ultra board amd 3200+ 1gb of corsair dual channel ram?
I want games to run well...by the way jam, everyone is telling me that I don't need SLI..your always right! LOL
RED

I'm not always right...just ask my ol lady...lol!
Here's a recent comparison of PCI-E cards. There is no X800 Pro on the list, but there is the X800, X800XL, & X800XT. The lead seems to change back & forth between them & the 6800, depending on the benchtest:

ASUS A7N8X-X
Athlon XP 1800+
8.5 x 200MHz
1024MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7
Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB
WinME/WinXP Pro SP1

Unless you're a Half Life 2 nut, I'd go with the 6800.

i agree with hero...you will get better performance out of the 6800 and better quality of video out of the x800... i know for a fact i went from a x800 to a BFG 6800 GT and it smokes my old ATI card... and why not SLI Jam, i am gonna pick up another GT here in a month or 2 and run them SLI, you supposed to get awesome performance out of it...
yup!

Because most people don't spend $400+ on graphics card(s) for one system.

Hey, if you wanna spend more for an SLI board (you obviously already did) & then spend $350 +/- each for 2 video cards just to add another 20FPS to a game that you're already getting 80-90FPS on, by all means, knock yourself out...it's your money!

Josh, there is no point arguing the point with these two knuckleheads ;D
They will argue black and blue about value for money, price vs performance etc and we've heard this argument 10 million times before heh heh

It's called real life! I have bills to pay, etc!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to figuring out how to blow $1,000 on a home theater receiver without my wife cutting me up into bite sized pieces.

It's a proven medical fact that husbands usually die before their wives. You know why?
Because they want to! :-P
