The best high-end performer tag keeps shifting from company to company, with ATI having recently been the champions for a couple of years, and NVIDIA’s 7800GTX currently the top-end board of choice.
ATI’s top boards, the X1800XL start from approx $500, with the premium X1800 XT selling for $550+.
You must be willing to shell out at least $800 for a fully specked variant of it.
Moving down the line, a gaming 7800GT board will cost you just under $600, while heading towards the mid-range is the 6800GT bearing a price tag of just under $400, which would suffice for gaming as well! The 6600GT is a solid performer for around $250.
More analysis and interpretations:
The GT is easy enough to spot as it’s a new model and comes with 512MB of memory instead of the weird 320MB or 640MB that have been featured in the older G80 models.
As per reports, during the testing phase of the MSI NX8800GT-T2D512E the casing of the card got painfully hot to the touch so you can obviously predict that you will need a case fan with this graphics card.
At the low-budget end, 6200 boards are under $100, while the Turbo Cache editions cost around $80. But paying smaller price, it wouldn’t be fare enough to expect much more than the bare essentials from them.
Hopefully this article has helped you in some or the other way, although naturally it’s not possible to cover everything. So it’s recommend that you regularly check out reviews of new and old graphics cards, before setting out to buy one.
You also may check some updates on latest graphics cards and go for the best one as per your requirements.
