I think I'd go with the GT, because there's always the option to upgrade with another GT at a later date.

The GT would offer only marginally less performance but with the ability to add in another much more easily. I'd go for that.

I haven't had the time yet - if I get the chance this evening, I'll have a go!

Rough EBuyer all-in prices.

6800 Std = £120
6800 GT = £210
6800 GS = £185

GS seems to be pretty damn good vfm. I've just recently got myself a 6800 Std because of the drops in prices.

The GS on ebuyer is faster than a GT and close to the performance of the 6800 Ultra. ;)

Interested in seeing if this works. Running a GT right now, looking at going SLI.

Sorry to bug you Bigz, was wondering if you'd had a chance to test this yet?

Tim S 21st November 2005, 23:02

No problem, I forgot to post.

I can't get SLI working at all with the GS and GT installed - I tried several driver revisions with no luck.

So can we use any 6800 cooler on these or what?

Tim S 27th November 2005, 12:10

yes, uses the same mounts as the 6800 series from what I can see.

Do you intend to review the agp version which seems to be a much lower spec and price? more like the 6600GT price range and a core of 300mhz and memory 700mhz.

Tim S 1st December 2005, 11:09

I've heard nothing official about the AGP version from NVIDIA.

herbs 1st December 2005, 12:08

I made a mistake it wasn't the gs I was thinking about when posting the spec and price. But there is suppose to be agp version of the gs soon according a search of the web sites. So going by your statement does that mean unoffically your been told something ;)
