6800 or X800? i think the PS3.0 features of the 6800 will win out, and the 128 shader ops per clock is also really nice.

Once again, too early to tell, but I think that the 6800 series is a winner this time around, nVidia had a lot riding on this, so they had to "unleash the dragon" to to speak :)

You don't even have solid facts on the x800 and you're deciding which has more longevity?

*Stares at his crystal ball*
Have you reached a conclusion for fx5900 and 9800pro? Many guys still haven't

mine still runs everything out there :)

My cousin makes fun of me all the time, he is still using a TI 4200, and he always brags about how much money he's saved over the past few years because he's never had to upgrade, whereas i've had to go through 3 cards :Q
