Best sub $200 PCI Express card?

Yeah, i wanted to ask the same thing.

Would a vanilla Geforce 6800 be better or Radeon x800? I'm talking about PCIe for both cards.

Geforce 6800: MSI NX6800-TD128E Geforce 6800 128MB 256-bit DDR PCI Express x16 Video Card $209

Radeon x800: SAPPHIRE 100107L-BL Radeon X800 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card $169


$40 difference...

Both are around the same price range. How is the OC and/or unlocking pipeline for both cards? From what I read, you can't unlock pipe for x800 but what about changing voltage and such with ATI Tool.

Or another words..
1)Which card is better BEFORE oc/unlocking?
2)Which card is better AFTER oc/unlocking?
3)IF the 6800 is better, is it worth spending extra $40 over the Radeon x800 for the difference in performance?
