    Hi,

    Ive posted a few articals already concerning graphics cards and monitors but I promise it is my last.
    I am left with too graph cards, a tonned down 6800gt and a decent ( according to Tom hardware guide) 6800 vanilla.

    The first is the Asus V9999GT/TD GeForce 6800 GT 128MB DDR TV-Out/DVI

    The second is the MSI GeForce 6800 128MB DDR AGP8X, NX6800-TD128, DVI/TV-Out

    As you can see they both have the same memory, DDR, my only gripe is that the 6800GT's are usually 256mb!
    The GT has all pipeline open, while the 6800 vanilla has 12. I know I can open them myself but gettin the full sixteen open is rare. ( to my limited knowledge ) The Vanilla has a CCS of 400 and the GT has a CCS of 350. There memory is the same.

    Both companies are good and the MSI one gets a good review.

    Please help!!!

    BTW Im ordering before 3 am.

    Thanks again guys

    P.S. Last GPU related topic, I promise!

    There both roughly the same price.

    Are they both 128-bit, or 256-bit? 256-bit (not to be confused with 256MB) is faster, me thinks.
