    6800 GT vs X850. How important is shader model 3.0?

    Yeah ok, but I wasn't planning to buy another new card in the next 18 months or something. And by the time the R520 arrives in quantity, I am maybe too old to play games anyway LOL. Edit: BTW is XFX really that bad, I heard their cards (and their service) really suck.

    6800 GT vs X850. How important is shader model 3.0?

    I want to get the Ultra, but there are only agp-versions available. And they are about the same price or at some shops even more expensive than the X850 here in the Netherlands. And I think I can get the X850 earlier than a pci version of the Ultra.

    6800 GT vs X850. How important is shader model 3.0?

    I am planning to buy one of these two cards. I know the X850 is the faster one in most games, but it doesn't have shader 3.0. How important will that be? I know that Age of Empires 3 engine will be shader 3.0, my favorite RTS-series. I am not planning to get SLI, and the price difference isn't...
