He Anand only review 4 cards a time so you never know what old card is still decent or not.

I tried toms and it looks good at first glace but the more oyu go thier his charts the inconsentant things I find. When I compared the 6800 ultra to the ATI 850 on some charts the 850 blows it away and other thier the same. Now I talking about the same problems just different articles. ALso in some the 1800 and 1900 kills the 850 and other the 850 is neck and neck. From reading his stuff I have no idea.

Basicly I have 6800ultra in a computer and i'm try to compare if the cards that are out now. I would liek to see cards that been out a while too. Its the 850 is very good for the money but its not an improvement its worth it to me. The is every 2 months a new card and and every 6 months a new series is getting to much for me.

Tom's Hardware has an interactive chart here

Just select your 6800 ultra, a card to compare, and a benchmark, and you are all set!

Of course it isn't completely updated to reflect the 7900's and 7600's, but you can at least compare to the 7800's and the radeons

This site has benches of modern games using new video cards as well as older ones like the x850 and 6800 series. It's German, but they use scientifically "correct" testing methodology, like disabling optimizations that sacrifice image quality, something that many other sites overlook. The x850xt(pe) is generally slightly faster than a 6800u, but it's not a worthwile upgrade from one to the other.
