ATi Radeon X800 Pro is consideribly faster than the 6600GT or X800GT. You can get one refurbed for $175 (after applying coupon code) from ATI.com. Comes in PCI-E and sometimes you get the ViVo which is flashable to XT800PE.

Your V9000 Riced out Iced TriAntamantium Ultra X2 Rollin on dubs edtion is owned by my Nvidia ATI Geforce Radeon Quadro FireGL X9294083759 LEGTGTXPROXTULTRAXLXTPE.

Can you afford $199? You can get a x800GTO^2, and unlock it to x850xt speeds.

have you seen my frames...no not really i cant afford 199.99 I dont game as much as I used to I really just want somthing that would be on par ofr my 9700 pro. for about no more than 150.00 preferably no more than about 120.00 But if there is something else i can get for 150 that blows something else away well then bonus. new egg has got a 256MB power color x800gt for 159.00 thats more than i want to spend. However I understand this might be a good deal hell if i could find some one here selling something cheap that would be cool

evga geforce 6800

i think this is better than either the 6600GT or x800GT....and with a little luck i think u might be able to unlock some of the pipelines and make it even faster ;p

Well I found some cards...

I found the X700 Series reviews state that its about equilvent of the 9800 pro...If I recall the 9700 Pro (what I own) walked all over the 9800 pro I found this card for as low as 100 for the 256 version and 115 for the pro (couldnt find the xt)

I also found the 6600GT for about 120.00

Then I found the X800 128MB for 110.00 Im assuming this is the best for my buck .


I also found this
x800 256MB for 136.00

and this x800GT 128 for 139.00

Please let me know what you think

i think the x700pro or x600xt would be a good deal for you. i think the x600xt and x700pro can be bought at ~$100 on ebay if you look around

Every thing Ive read says the 6600GT and the x800GT are both competivie cards...I think I might buy the 6600 gt as it is a cheaper card and its going on an nforce board...All nvidia all the way around...would that be good
