Which one should i get?

[Skooma]

I cant decide which of these to get. I only have pretty general knowledge of graphics cards. Anyway, if you could just recommend which is better please, and no, "get a PCI" or "no get this one instead" i just need to know which is better please.

LINKS: CARD 1
CARD 2

thanks.

Deffinaty the x800GTO. Im not to sure they are even in the same preformance class

I love my 6600GT but next to a X800GTO it falls behind quite a bit.

 

[Skooma]

ok thanks all. Is there any reason the prices are near enough the same? possibly because Nvidia are just generally more popular?

The GTO is much better

The 6600 GT actually has SM 3.0 and can do OpenEXR HDR... which the X800 GTO can't... but the X800 GTO is the faster card, and the 6600 GT is *not* fast enough to use OpenEXR HDR anyway.

So yeah, the X800 GTO is the hands down winner between the two...

I concur.
