Hi,
One of my friends has a brand new machine (Athlon 64 3000+, 512MB DDR 400Mhz RAM, MSI RS 480M2-IL). Since the time he bought his machine he has been using the onboard graphics of the machine which is quite decent. Now he has decided to buy FEAR and some of the other latest games. For that he has decided to buy a graphics card, budget being 11000. He has shortlisted three choices, 6600GT and Powercolor X800GT or Powercolor X800GTO (not sure if this is available in India). So which one should he go for. He has read somewhere that X800GT is a 6600GT beater in some of the benchmarks and it is supposedly cheaper than the 6600GT. He has also read somewhere that it has a 256-bit memory interface with much overclocking headroom and so he prefers it over the 6600GT which has 128-bit interface.
I have told him to wait so that I could know the opinions of the digit forum members. So friends, which one should he buy among 6600GT/X800GT/X800GTO and why? It would also be helpful if the price of the X800GT/GTO is also mentioned, along with the brand (powercolor, sapphire, etc). Also is X800GTO available in India?
Waiting for your replies.
Thanks in advance.
