    Hi,
    Building a PC, money is tight tho, was wondering if the 6800GS is worth the extra 50Euro over the 6600GT, at this stage all the the numbers regarding piplines, speed etc. have messed up my head :{, any opinions? (loaded ques there!! :) )

    I'm using the Komplett AMD PC as a base line:

    In 1 word: Yes.
    In more words: Spend the money on the 6800GS -- it's been hailed as the 6800's swansong, and should allow you to run at medium-to-high quality for another 2-3 years at least.
    And FYI, it runs at slower speeds than a 6600GT, but extra pipes make a world of difference!

    Check some of these Review's out. The 6800GS own's The 6600GT. Its a brilliant card for the price and also with 32GB/s 256-bit memory bandiwdth Compared to 14-15 Gb/s 128-But bandwidth Of the 6600GT's, the 6800GS sure win's.
