The thing is both of them are available at same price.So looking at situation it would be easy to decide 6800LE, but if you look at specs, both of them has same pipelines, the 6600gt has gddr3 ram while 6800le has slower ddr ram but then 6800le has a 256bit core while 6600's is 128bit.So can anyone give an idea which would better performance wise ?<br /> BTW are the stability issues due to pipeline bug, still there in 6800LE or it has been fixed especially the Albatron 6800LE 128MB one text/html 2004-11-28T11:53:53-05:00 Supreet Virdi http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/34383/?o=40#208449 Sorry about ur ~wet~ dream calc. but 6800 on sockA mobo's are like titanic ship on a small river...u can get it runnin on it though but............<br /> <br /> A 64 atleast .... <br /> <br /> text/html 2004-11-27T22:54:41-05:00 Predator http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/34383/?o=40#208274 Or an XP2500+M w/ 6800 GT AGP. text/html 2004-11-27T12:55:21-05:00 Supreet Virdi http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/34383/?o=40#208123 Well XP series from AMD is old now and also the 2500+, &amp; 2600+ bartons are quite slow until and unless u overclock it to 3200+ speeds.<br /> <br /> I would get atleast A 64 3200+ for 6800 to make overall balanced sexy rig. text/html 2004-11-27T05:49:33-05:00 Kash http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/34383/?o=40#208072 That's because yours is defective, mothow.

It won't be big enough to matter, though.<br /> <br /> By running a 3.2e (Prescott) processor, overclocked, or an Athlon64 chip you will gain, maybe, and I this is a big maybe, 500-600 points in 3dMark '05. And that is a HUGE maybe.<br /> <br /> With your processor, at the speed it's at, and a 6800GT, you'll be able to run Doom3 @ 1280x1024 like there's no tomorrow. And there will be a tomorrow. A tomorrow of gaming bliss.<br /> <br /> Get the 6800GT, if you can, and be happy: You just got a 6800Ultra for $100 less... lol text/html 2004-11-18T16:01:29-05:00 Curtis Flanagan http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/34383/?o=20#205435 i know y pcu and ram need upgrading<br /> but could i run a 6800 gt without it bottlenecking??on my cpu (ONLY CPU DONT TAKE ANYTHING ELSE INTO CONSIDERATION) text/html 2004-11-18T10:57:08-05:00 Supreet Virdi http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/34383/?o=20#205318 Good decision &amp; Good luck plz do tell us how it goes <img src="/images/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)"> text/html 2004-11-18T10:45:26-05:00 Matthew Smith http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/34383/?o=20#205315 i cant afford a 6800 gt m8 ok i have seen the benchmarks and have decided on the 6600GT thanx 4 ure help guys<img src="/images/smilies/smile3.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":D" title=":D">
