7800GT is better. 20 pipes vs 12 pipes. It's better, not by a mile, but it's better. Scores about 1500 points more than the 6800GS in 3dmark 2005, but of course it also costs ~100 bux more on average.

Probably like the difference between a 6800ultra and 7800gt, since i owned both the diff is around 30%, with lots of smoke and stuff like that on the screen the 7800gt does much better otherwise the improovement is something u would expect with 4 more pipelines.
If your buying a new one 7800gt is a better choice but costs more, otherwise if u already own a 6800gt, gs or ultra, or the ati equvalent, not much point in upgraiding just wait for the next gen cards. Only reason i have my 7800gt is cause my ultra died and i got it as replacement.

I decided to go with a GTO2 unlock and overclock and you will get better performance than the 6800GS for $10 more.
