6800 vs 7800

[jayanath]

why is the nvidia 6800 ultra more expensive than the 7800 gt is it better

Old product line; production usually ceases on old products as new products are usually the priority.

The ultra high end products never really drop in price to the extent that you'd expect even when they've been superseded by newer, cheaper and faster technology. Price is only a reliable gauge of performance when you're looking across one generation of cards.
