I was recently looking into video cards and I found that both ATI and Nvidia have a TON of "endings" on their cards....

Please arrange the following in order of their performance from greatest to least. If they're about equal, put them next to eachother :)

9800Pro
9800
9800XT
X800XT
X800XL
X800
X850XT
X850XTPE
X850Pro
6800
6800GT
6800Pro
6600GT

WOW thats a lot

if you can tell me what you are going to use it for and your price range then i could narrow it down for you, but i really dont feel like making a chart

Don't get the X850 Pro. It's merely an X800 Pro clocked at X800 XT speeds. But without the 4 extra pipes. You would be better off just getting an X800 XT instead of an X800 Pro.

Ok then I'll delete the X800Pro off the list.

Any of the "overclocked without the pipelines" I'll delete...

For the endings for ATI cards, they go like this

XTPE
XT
XL
Pro

For nvidia is goes like

Ultra OC
Ultra
GT

read this for how they compare

The 9800 cards are from a generation before... unless you're on a very tight budget then the 6600gt is the lowest of the bunch you should be considering.

X850XTPE
X850XT
6800Ultra
X800XT
X800XL
X850Pro
6800GT
X800Pro
X800
6800
6600GT
9800XT
9800Pro
9800

this list is correct for almost all Direct X games. for Opengl games, move each Geforce card up 1 spot and for all games with DoomIII in the title, assume the Geforce cards all kill the ATI cards except for the 6600gt, which moves above the x800xl or xt in the chart.

X850 XT PE
X850 XT
X800 XT PE
X800 XT
6800 U OC
6800 U
6800 GT
X800 XL
X850 Pro
X800 Pro

I don't know what the order is between the 6800 GT, X800 XL, X850 Pro.

I out the X850 Pro down at the bottom because it's a 12 piper. But it's slightly higher X800 XT PE speeds may compensate.
