nVidia Go6800 Ultra as compared to Go7600???

which one is better option???
Go6800 Ultra with 256MB dedicated or Go7600 with 256MB TurboCache?

should i buy dell xps M170 with 2GHz and Go6800 Ultra graphics card?
or is it obsolete now???

 

well, I would recommend the M170. The 6800 ultra is more powerfull than the 7600.

please note though that the set up you are referring to is called the Gen 2 (like mine) it may have M170 written on it but if you look in the system information its named the Gen 2. Dell renamed that set up.

A word of advice though, The 6800 ultra although a powerfull GPU is slowly becoming out of date and turning into an entry level GPU.

You can play currently available games in the market in Full settings and at a relatively high resolution. For example, I was able to play "Prey", a game that was released a month ago, at the highest settings and resolultion.

Another thing to consider is the CPU. The Gen 2 has a Pentium M processor. I know if you are a gamer you should consider the GPU more than the CPU but I have a feeling that its going to be a trend for game developers to include multi-threading compatiblity. Crysis is an example of that and Quake 4 released a patch that dramaticly improves performance for the lucky mofo's who have multi-threading processers.

or....you could just wait for the release of directx 10 cards

hope this helps.

 

The Go6800 Ultra is an older card, yes, but still very powerful.

May want to complete the FAQ in the What Should I Buy forum so we can give you some recommendations.

 

well thanks a lot for the advice...

im getting the system for $1660. and at the same price, i can get Acer Aspire 9112WLM with specs:
1.67 GHz dual core and 256MB TurboCache powered Go7600.

which one should i prefer???? im very confused.
my price range is about $1700 and in that price range im not able to get both good CPU and good GPU. wht should i do...????

plz help me out.

 

Like Chaz said you should fill up that form in the "what should I buy" forum. That way based on the detailed information you enter, people can make a good recommendation.

 

AFAIK, you can still get the configurable P100 with the exact same specs as mine for just under $1600. You get BOTH the CPU and GPU you want for a lower price, assuming you would even consider a Toshiba.

 

yes im checking that one out. i have no problem with Toshiba...
i think its a very good option.... thanks for telling me that option. ciao

 

I thought the 7600 didn't use Turbocache, so the 256MB listed would also be dedicated.
