How much extra $$$ should I pay for a 6800 ultra?

[Ricemarine]

Don't know where, don't care, just want my question answered...

I have a gigabyte x800xt AGP that I received back from RMA (replacement), but I want digital vibrance badly... So I'm attempting a trade

So I am wondering, how much would you spend extra to get ahold of a 6800 ultra if you were in my situation?

What are general prices?

This is where I'm lost...

1 trader I had says x800xts are worth $225?!... 6800 ultras range from $275-$330

 

[isekii]

what about an X850 XT PE ?

X800XT's are worth way more than $225, just looking around the forums I get about the same price range as the ultra.

x850 prices plunged this past month. i remember seeing a x850 xt (dont know if its pe) pci-e for about 300 bucks

I guess he's refering the price to when ATI had the X800XTPE for $230, but I don't think that because there was a good deal for a card necessarily means that the actual value of the card drops.

also to the OP. u think its really worth it to get the 6800u? what about 7800GT?

7800gt is a bit off my budget... I'd rather have similar performance ...

was hoping the x800xt and 6800 ultra would even out eventually, for a good trade, but apparently, x800xt dropped a lot... So I'm trying to keep it under $50 or so.
