256mb Video Card. What's is best?

[Corey244]

I got this from General Hardware catagory - eVGA GeForce 6800GT 256MB DVI/VO - $409 but before I go out and buy it, I was wondering if anyone had opnions on any other good cards in this price range.

Thank you

That's a very good card for the price, get it.

Last time I checked the prices of the 6800GTs hovers around $400 to $450.

Yes I know, there is a link on the General Hardware topic on where to buy it for $409 that's actually on sale for $386 atm. I was wondering if anyone has this card or a compitetive card of this price range I won't have to go out an upgrade in a year

Thank you

With Video IN/OUT I would definately buy it for that price. Its a mighty fast card.

I have a BFG 6800GT and it's at least twice as fast as my FX5900XT. I'd go for some sort of 6800GT if possible.

X800pro. Preferably a VIVO so you can flash it to a XT.

both 6800gt and x800 pro would be a good buy

The 6800GT is a better buy in my opinion. x800pro vivos are expensive and you have to flash the card for it to be worthwhile. x800pro isn't as appealing with it's 12 pipes and no sm3 to boot. If your looking for the top line I'd say x800xtpe is better then the ultra though.
