gforce 6-series

i've read that there where a lot op hidden stuff with those gforce 6-series

like: with Riva Tuner
-6200: 4 pipelines => 8 pipelines
-6600: 8 pipelines

the 6200 witch is cheaper than a 6600
and that's as good as an 6600

and then with all the le-stuff
:bucky!: :bucky!: :bucky!:

aaarg

what's the situation
fastest:
6800ultra
6800
6800le
6600
6200 aka 6600

or have i forgotten something?

what about the GT's?

let me also add this nice row off stupid serie numbers



and this



who invents those names?

shoot him
:bucky!:

what's the reason btw that a stupid gpu needs names like that
and what's the use of those extensions :rant:

just confusion for the people
pompiedee

i really don't know what's the best

and ati has the same situation :dennis:

I have a Geforce 6800U and it's great :thumbup:
The ultra is just about tha fastest card there is. Some people will tell you to get an ATI card, but i prefer NVidia as there are better and more consistant drivers about

The Ultra has 16 pixel pipe lines
Whare as the GT only has 12 Pixel pipe lines.
As you go down the line the PPL get less and less :nxs:

Also the 6 series of Nvidia cards support SM3.0. :thumbup:

The ATI cards do not support this however.

When we will see the first real SM3.0 game with true Displacement mapping is anybodies guess. :bucky!:

Some people are saying that HL2 will support it, but i am not convinced. ;)

News Flash: ATi has the better drivers. as for consistancy.. u see performance jump 5-10% each month with drivers.. so its uh..

ATi has the 3dc tech though. and that is pimped out.

Like i said at the top, i prefer Nvidia. Other people prefer ATI.

You could argue for ever about Video cards. :nxs:

They both have their good and bad points.

I am not even going to get started with this.

Its 3dc vs Sm3.0

its Strong, Stable, and powerful drivers vs unstable, and feature filled ones...

Ive made my choice.

O yeh.. with CCC and AI ATi is finally putting strong features onto their stable and powerful drivers.

Im not going to argue this.. but the choice is pretty clear.

We'll see what happens eh! It's not like the hardware scene changes almost weekly or anything is it

um in a previous post by i think mendle he has a benchmark for all the video cards and ATI came out on top and all the benchmarks you'll notice Nvidia seems to come out on top for the benchmarking programs like 3dmark03 and 05 etc but Ati comes out on top in most game benchmarks...games! Ati performs best in games so uh why wouldn't you go with Ati i mean the 6800 is so power consuming but only ever slightly better (depending) than Ati



the choice is yours and the choice........................................it's obvious

ok
but now the BIG question

don't try to make me buy a ati
i'm just a fan of Nvidia
but
what of tese cards are best price/qualtiy?

buying a 6200 and receiving a 6600 or just buying a whole 6800? :Oo:
