But remember, there's a $90 - $110 price difference, and I don't really need more than 40-50 FPS @ 10x7 resolution. I'll give it some thought.

Looks like x800-series and up cards in general take less of a hit on AA and AF than 6x00series and up cards.. Is this because of texture units or what?

That's about the speed of an OC'ed 6800GS. When they're both overclocked hard and the x800GTO is unlocked, it's like comparing an x850xtpe to a 6800ultra. The x850xtpe wins out in most games / tests, but 6800U has features that the x850xtpe doesn't. In the end, you're well off with either...

That one I'm 99% sure can't be unlocked. I'm sure I''ve seen one unlock of it thread, but haven't seen another. But either way the x800GTO slaps the 6600GT around the world and then some. The majority of x800GTOs will still OC pretty well. Same with 6600GTs. Go with the x800GTO for sure.

I need a video card for movie editing and game movie editing. Does 7800GT offer that much of a image quality boost over the x850xtpe? It's actually an x800GTO2. I'm being offered a 7800GT - $250 x800GTO2 - $150 (probably won't get this) 6800GT - $175 I will play maybe FEAR and HL2...
