Hey guys im updating my grapchis card from a 6600GT to a 6800GT or an ATI card, i live in canada and im going to trade my current card in for 200 bucks and my psu but im wondering should i get a 6800 GT or an Ultra, to me it seems like overkill to get the ultra, it seems like overkill to get the GT but i just dont want to worry about framerates dropping in games like BF2 for having my settings at like high, or medium, but i just want a nice steady 60 FPS and new games coming out like FEAR, stalker and BF2.

Most 6800GTs easily overclock to Ultra Speeds. Plus it's a single slot solution and requires a little less power.

X800XL is cheaper only in the PCI-E flavor. 6800gt's can be had for around $230, IIRC.

X800XL are alot cheaper in Canada I think, maybe not sorry, If the price difference is like $30 or something I'd get the 6800GT but no more then that.
