Re: Ati 9800 Or Nvidia Fx5900
It should be, but it should also be a lot more expensive. If memory serves, the 6800LE is a regular 6800 with only 8 pixel pipelines. You can look up some test if you want, but I can tell you right now it's probably not worth the money it costs, or at least it wouldn't be in the U.S. It's somewhere around $250 while a 9800 Pro is $200 and a regular 6800 is around $270, and prices are likely similar for you.

Nah, the 6800LE is actually priced at £133, same as a 9800 Pro (www.order247.co.uk).
Edit: It appears the 6800LE is clocked down to 300\700, ive seen 1 or 2 models with 320mhz core speed but those were in OEM PCs and not retail cards.Last edited by sr4470; 11-03-2004, 07:32 PM.

9800 Pro or 6800LE. Depends what games you play, and what settings you use, because the 9800 Pro is better in some games and 6800LE is better in others.
Look at this review: http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/gffx/nv43-p05.html (ignore the 6600 for now, because its not an AGP card yet) and you'll see what i mean. For me, the 6800's shadermodel 3.0 support decides it, but that may not be important to you.Last edited by sr4470; 11-04-2004, 12:26 PM.
