What PCI-E graphics card should I get?

[TheZecharon]

Ok, I just want someone to reccomend me a good graphics all the way up to $340 and it's going to be for a new NF4 board. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

The ATI X800 XL is supposed to retail at $350 MSRP and the GeForce 6800 NU PCIe (NV41) can be SLI'd if needed.

x800 xl - not available yet

MSI nVIDIA GeForce 6800 Video Card, 256MB DDR, 256-Bit, TV-Out/DVI, PCI-Express, Model "NX6800-TD256E" -RETAIL - $339

^^ I'd recommend that..a dollar below your price point and a good performer with lots of memory and SLI capability. No softmods here though, as far as I know at least.

That card was the very reason I put the price at $340 lol. You wouldn't happen to know by any chance when the X800 XL will be out do you?

No, I don't know when the X800 XL will be available, but probably not until February.

Just get an x800xt, probably the best card available right now for pci e.

I think it's supposed to be $600 for the card + motherboard in some kind of bundle. Seeing as how the card isn't even available yet, it's hard to say for sure. I'm sure the Gigabyte site will have more information eventually, if it doesn't now.
