I have an ATi 9800xT in my rig and a friends gave a 6800 with a broken heatsink as a freebie.

Question is, should I stick with the 9800XT or should I buy a heatsink and use the 6800 instead?

I play FPS games and the odd MMORPG

Thanks in advance!

6800 isn't all that. it has trouble running source with any eyecandy. nvidia = bad for anything with AA/AF

sure that is partially true but it will still run faster than a 9800XT especially when unlocked and overclocked
