Re: Help me find a cheap video card
lol sorry but the 12000 score for the 6800gt is complete bullshit on 3dmark 05 maybe 03 but not 05. I have a system running amd opteron oc'ed to 2.6 and a 7900gt and struggled to break 10000 on 05 so yeah 12000 = bs for that old pos card. I have a 7600gt sli system im building right now and its right in the range of 12000 and one 7600gt is faster than a 6800gt period.
