the 2800+ t-bred or the 2800+ barton, which and why? Which is the best for gaming?

AMD Radeon HD6950 2GB GDDR5 shaders @1536 OC to 840/1300

Believe it or not, they perform about the same; that's why they have the same PR number. I'd go with the Barton if I were you, though, it probably has more overclocking headroom.

To be perfectly honest, I'd say your best choice would lie with the 2500+, you can get a free 3200+ (200x11) out of it with no voltage tweaks and just be done with it. But hey, it's your choice.

i think the t-bred edges out in more cases due to higher clock, exception coming in at cache intensive programs.
BTW, i own a t-bred, this i just for some disscussion on differences

thanks for reply

Some games eat raw clock speed, some games stress the memory subsystem more.. I don't know which are which, with a few exceptions (Quake III loves clock speed, Splinter Cell loves memory subsystem).

QUOTE (PorBleemo @ Oct 6 2003, 07:36 PM)The Barton produces more heat because of it's larger core as a result or twice as much cache.  This might affect your decision but I'm thinking not.

-Por
the Barton is able to dissipate more heat due to its larger size, as well. I find that they run cooler than previous cores, all else being equal.

barton
t-bred:L2 is too small to run the big games
barton:better than t-bred

i am sorry,please forgive my poor English!

the tbred 2800+ is clocked @ 2.25Ghz I believe, that doesn't leave much room for overclocking.

at stock I think the tbred just edges it.

i'd go with the T-bred......
but it hardly to be found here nowadays

there never were so many 2800+ T-Breds...those have always been pretty rare.
i'd still go with the Barton because of the 512KB L2 - the more recent steppings seem to OC very well and at the same clockspeed a barton will outperform a T-Bred

If your not overclocking then a t-bred may be the better choice, but these Barton @ 2.3 , 2.3+ Ghz go zoom zoom... zoom!
