bam_bam: What's with the 6800 GS/XT.
They're two different cards.

I was going to ask the same thing.

This is the best I think .

nope. is 512mb ram and the gfx is intel graphic accelerator.
and i think dell desktops cannot be upgraded.

.... where do you think the on-board graphics actually gets it's memory from?
The RAM is the only place it can, you have 512MB of RAm it uses 8Megs for graphics you can usually beef it up to 128, but it is still nowhere near as useful or effective as having a dedicated video card.

DELL desktops can be upgraded, you just need to get their RAM, and the rest of the compatible bits.

Gay · Post by **Gay** » 14 Jul 2006, 12:01

ty, but hw do i beef the graphics to 128??

anyidea where to get the dell ram?? call dell.
sorry i am noob at IT.

There isnt such thing as Dell RAM , there is just different types of RAM , You will have to find out what type of RAM you already have in your computer .

Continuing here.

1. Not a GT or GS, but a Gainwood? Hell, Gainwood is a company that manufactures nVidia cards, there is no 6800 Gainwood.

2. 512 mb doesn't say shiznit, it's just used to store textures and whatever.

3. Processor and RAM memory are no factors in graphic quality.

4. Developers decide if the game looks better on the 360 or the PC.Would you see amazing graphics if you'd play tetris with a 6800?

Games run smoother on consoles, there's no doubt about that, but IMO, they can look better on PC's depending on the setup. Main reasons for this include anti-aliasing which is non-existent in most consoles, anistropic filtering, and resolution.

don't forget that the TV used for the consoles plays just as important a part in how games look on PCs and consoles. if i plug my PC into my TV, i get a very very very crappy image. when i plug it into the HDTV ports, voila crystal clear clarity.

anyways, here's my system specs, since that's what this topic's about

AMD Athlon64 3000+ (2.25GHz)
ASUS K8N nForce3 motherboard
ATI Radeon x700 Pro (around 400MHz)
1GB RAM
Seagate 30GB Backup HD
Maxtor 160GB HD
Maxtor/Quantum 30GB Backup HD
RealTek ALC 850 7.1 surround

nice system you got there, what does the x700 pro compare to in nvidia? like 6200? or like 7800?

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 19 Jul 2006, 07:48

i think it compares to the nVidia 6600, not sure.

it's a custom built system, and it's been an expensive effort. a lot failed hardware (burned out Radeon 9200 and a Western Digital hard drive that started smoking randomly. NEVER buy Western Digital.)

Dragster · Post by **Dragster** » 19 Jul 2006, 11:56

How's that? I have a WDC80(western digital) hard drive... works perfectly for a year now..I did burn a Maxtor though... those just overheat to hell

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 19 Jul 2006, 12:00

I've had the same 160Gig WD for like 2 years and havn't had any problems with it whatsoever.

PSZeTa Gainwood to make a varitaion of the 6800 I know that becuase I have one ! . Im running it with an amd 64 3400 and 2 gb of Ram , you do the math .

Obviously you don't know enough. It's running a 6800GS core with 512mb memory.

Sure man. Your PC does not beat a XBox 360. o/

Funny that you think that your processor and graphics card are so f-ing awesome. Sorry to say that they're not.

bam_bam · Post by **bam_bam** » 19 Jul 2006, 17:15

PSzeta arnt you the clever , I know for a fact that at the moment my comp is perfoming better than the 360 .

Lets take the Ender scrolls for example , it is really skecthy for the 360 , it lags often , the loading times are poor but the graphics are goo d . On my pc I have just as good graphics , with faster loading times and no lag .

I know plently about my own system and whilst I dont know the specs of a 360 I have driectly compared them on 3 different games and the my pc comes out on top.

The graphics card in the 360 isnt too far off of the gainwood 6800 either , they both clock at 500 mhz . I think the pipes might even be the same Im not sure though ...

The 360 has 512 mb GDDR3 ram that clocks at 700 mhz , my pc has 2 gb DDR3 Ram which in total clocks at 800mhz .

I think that the Xbox 360 CPUs is more powerfull than the AMD 64 3400 , Its hard to directly compare them . It has 3 cores so by all rights it should be . Then again in saying that I could be wrong , its hard to tell with consoles.

The games for the 360 will improve , and will properly suppass my pc in the future but , the games atm dont impress me .

i've had a maxtor hard drive that actually survived a flood. in fact, the 30GB hard drive is the same one. the secondary seagate hard drive didnt make it though. i guess it all depends on what batch the products are from.

eLder Scrolls, yeah.

And forgot it was GainWARD.

Funny that clocks don't tell you jack shiznit..

On paper, the ATi Xenos in the 360 should perform on par or better compared with the nVidia RSX in the PS3. Did you know the RSX should be twice as fast as a 6800 Ultra, and is based on the G70 or G71? That means 7800/7900 power.. Both cards shiznit on your 6800GS.

Well said man, GDDR3 = Graphics memory, so why are you comparing the 2 of them? BTW, you said you have 2 gb of DDR3 RAM? Hell, there is no DDR3 on the market.

And you don't do 200 + 200 + 200 + 200, that's just bullcrap.

Indeed hard to compare, but still superior to yours. They are based on the IBM PowerPC processors.

You shouldn't have said that your PC > 360 in the start.

Sorry if I sound arrogant, I just want to pwn people HARD, so yeah.

bam_bam · Post by **bam_bam** » 19 Jul 2006, 23:06

You pwn nothing , you just think you know everything and love taking the p**** when ppl make mistakes .

Im so sorry if I made an error but I stand bu my origional point , My computer is better than the 360 . I have both 360 and pc and play them both all the time , I can see the difference , I mean lets face it the 360 lags when playing Halo 2 lol ! .

And yes you do sound arrogant .

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 19 Jul 2006, 23:16

hmmm... the 360 lags while playing halo 2. and maybe it would lag worse on the PC if halo2 was out on the PC...

what i'm saying is a console is a console and a PC is a PC. you can't successfully and objectively compare the two.
