7800 GS AGP vs 6800 Ultra AGP

blurry · 02-16-06, 04:11 PM

Which does better in games at 1600x1200 and beyond?

Most likely the 7800GS.

Might want to consider moving to PCI-E and skt939 instead of sticking with AGP, but if you have to, that 7800GS AGP would last you for a while.

Thanks. I'm going to go for something higher end when moving to PCI-E, so this would do rather nicely for a while.

I'm also going to go with the 7800gs being better.. everything I've heard about that card is good

I just got a 7800gs.

I upgraded from a ati radeon 9700 pro, after working out the driver problems (thanks to drivercleaner), the 7800gs is great.
(I have never used a 6800 tho.)

yep, this card should be good for atleast 6months.

blitzkrieg1110 · 02-17-06, 10:19 PM

well, i just got a 7800gs today cause of my other gfx card going dead (going to rma and sell whatever i get back probably). with my system specs in the sig my card autodetected to 467/1.38 and its running great! im gonna push it farthur later cause my temps are great and i think this thing has much more room for ocing. i have only run 3dmark05 so far but with those autodetected settings i got 6633. here is a link to my run: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1813804 does this score sound pretty good or does that sound a bit low for those settings?

EDIT: also, im new to nvidia, so what drivers are most prefered? im currently using the 81.98's
