Hey all, can you answer this question that is bugging me...which of these two GF cards should i get.

GF 7800GT 256MB PCI-E DVI-I
GF 6800GT 256MB DDR PCI-E DVI

I assumed that 7800 would be the better because its a higher number, yes that is a very dodgy way of figuring out whenever its good or not. But some websites say that the 6800 is better...so which one would you say is best.

256MB PCI-Express NVidia GeForce 7800GT GDDR3, SLI, 256-Bit, Dual DVI, VIVO

£265.55 (inc VAT)

Now lets be honest about this they are both amazing cards. Fast and Powerful the differences in performace are minimal and probably you will not feel or see these during game play. I would be working on the factor of price whatever card you Find cheaper go fo that you know your getting a good card and its going to do what you want it to do Either way. If your looking for a status symbol then get the latest version if your looking on price get the one you can find cheaper. I dont think you will feel any difference during your game play and as i have said which ever way you go YOU will have ONE HELL OF A GOOD CARD!

I would consentrate in searcing down a good deal on either card. Good luck in your search Loz
