i got a BFG 128mb 6800OC card, but it is in the process of getting RMA'ed I have an oppurtunity to get an ATI X1600pro 256mb card (its a good price). my question is which is better? Should i get teh x1600pro or let it go by and just wait for my 6800 to get in from RMA? (currently i have a fx5500 in my machine).

The 6800OC would kill the X1600pro. However do they still have them? (NV stopped production on the 6 series cards), It would be great if they sent you a 7600GS/GT :)

the 6800OC is BFG, i gotit off the forums and it was DOA, but i was able to RMA no big deal on my part, just got to wait a little longer on my upgrade. Would be VERY nice if i got an upgraded card, but anything is still an upgrade from my fx5500. guess i will pass on the x1600pro card then and wait till i get the 6800OC back from RMA.
