Great video card or what?

[Runner20]

I was just scrolling thru websites and came upon this. Looks like if you want to build the fastest gaming system possible this is the best video card to get.

wrong. the 6800ultra is the best

Looks like you have your mind made up already, so no point in arguing with you

on many other benchmarks, the x800 xt wins. but like i said, your mind is already made up

so what was the point of this thread? its flamebait.

Not trying to get involved in a flamewar, but the link you posted to the BF: Vietnam FPS graph on hardocp has the Ultra @ 1280x960 and the X800 @ 1600x1200. I dont think that proves much. If anything it shows the X800 as being better since hardocp does is show how high of a rez each card is good too and the x800pro at $100 less hangs with the 6800U. So x800 seems to be the way to go.

Not to mention much less system requirements

i think it seems pretty balanced to me from what i've read- what would win the purchase for me which would be whatever is cheaper '

Agreed. Except, I may go with the 6800, just because I've heard it plays better with the nForce3 chipset (which I will have sometime this week). For now, I'll be using a Radeon 9800 Pro (might mod to XT.. dunno), but eventually I'll have to switch up. Like mago said, it's a toss up. We'll see in a few months, when they're readily available and they're cheaper.

I strongly agree!
