x800 GTO (AGP) vs. GeForce 6800 GT (AGP)

Hi folks, I'm considering trading in my ATI x800 GTO for a Geforce 6800 GT and was wondering what kind of fps improvements (if any) to expect. My main sims are rFactor and GTR2, with a bit of FalconAF thrown in every once in a while. CPU is an AMD64 4200+ dual core, so I'm guess most sims aren't limited cpu wise at the moment on this system. As I'm still on a 300W PSU, I'd like to know if increased power consumption would be an issue? All the best & TIA, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

I wouldnt boher with a 6800 and get an ATI 1950. I think its available in both PCI and AGP and its fairly friendly on the wallet. I don't think it consumes too much power. What make and model is your PSU?

Thing is I can get the GF 6800GT in exchange for the X800GTO from a colleague, so I was wondering if the whole affair was worth the hassle ;-) Cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

I would do the deal. I have a 6600GT and love it.

I don't think you're going to see much of a difference. At least, performance-wise. http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics.html

Thanks for the link, Brian. Looks like the 6800GT is slightly faster in most regards except for the vertex operations. All the best, Uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61
