7800GT or the 6800GT

[harobikes333]

I'm building a new computer and I was wondering which one should I get?

I have a budget of 1300 and I'm getting a case:....

2gigs ram

mobo:dfi

Processor: X2 3800+

Monitor: ....crt somthing..........? donno

So which one should i get? :confused: I mean they don't seem to have a huge difference in clock speed, but i'm not sure!? What should i get?

7800GT :stick:

why buy old gear :confused:


because its a cheaper card by about 100 bucks.....

And because I'm on a budget...:\

I just don't know:(

Any other reason?

clock speed is the less important thing

6800gt 16 pipes 7800gt 20 so huge difference

So it would be a good investment to get that card instead? And then get a X2 3800+ instead of the Toledo 4400+...?

yeah i think is the best way to go

dual core 3800 and 2 gigs of ram the 7800gt and the DFI you have a winner pc :toast:
