eVGA GeForce 6800GT 256MB GDD3 PCIe + Antec VCool VGA Cooler
(both come with retail packaging and accessories) ( S O L D )
Sale Price: Rs.6,666 shipped
Purchased: Jul '05
Warranty: Valid, but in the US
Reason for sale: G80
What's more, I'm throwing in a sparingly used Antec VCool VGA cooler - used for 1 month tops. Purchased locally for 1.3k and comes with bill + warranty. You can get the VGA Cooler for almost nothing if you take this 6800GT off my hands.
I will also apply Arctic Silver 5 on the GPU before shipping. With AS5, the temperature idles at 60-62C and hits 70-75C while running graphics-intensive games. Consider this good because many cards out there reach 85-90C on load.
_______________________________________________
Quick comparison - 6800GT vs. 7600GT:
350MHz vs. 560MHz core frequency
16 vs. 12 pixel pipelines
256-bit vs. 128-bit memory interface
32GB/s vs. 22.4GB/s memory bandwidth
In terms of performance, the 7600GT is a bit faster than a stock 6800GT - however, if you overclock the 6800GT to Ultra speeds (and this one does), it will be on par, if not faster, than a 7600GT. What the 6800GT lacks is HDR, the 7600GT can do HDR (but not HDR+AA).
_______________________________________________
I was reminded that the 6800GT is one solid performer when I upgraded to a 20" LCD - I thought I'd have to get an X1900 to run newer games, but this card has gracefully aged, handling all games I've thrown at it Recently I got to test NFSC and was able to squeeze 60-70fps from this card @ 1680x1050 (no AA, shaders -medium, visual treatment -low, particles -off, car details -high).
The card is installed in my PC so I can't post pics yet, but I'll post some over the weekend.
Please feel free to post any additional questions you might have.
