"If you compare the price points of the cards' MSRP, you will find that the GeForce 6800Ultra at $499 MSRP should compete against the Radeon X800XT-PE, which also has an MSRP of $499. The X800Pro comes in at a lower price point of $399. You would think that video cards set at the same price would perform similarly, but as we have shown in our initial X800 series review, our recent VisionTek X800Pro review, and now this article, this is not the case. The X800Pro at one hundred dollars less than the GeForce 6800Ultra was either matching or beating it in game performance. "

yey kyle strikes again!

who woulda thought he'd pick ATi.

I bet he could justify to himself how a 9800 Pro was faster than a 6800U...

ard OCP is an ATI fanboy site and they also get bags on advertising money from ATI :D ...
WOOT

Its sad because people go there to find out what card is better and see a 9800XT Beating a Geforce6800Ultra in allot of game tests...

Its wrong in so many ways someone should discredit them Anandtech should make an article about them.

A 9800XT isn't faster than a 6800U?!?!?!?!

HardOCP also gives BFG video cards glowing reviews compared to other Nvidia cards (what was the last Nvidia card they tested that wasn't a reference design or BFG?). Kyle is such a two-faced hypocrite it makes me sick.
