Which Video Card to buy?

[Koudelka]

I'm almost done buying the parts to my gaming rig. With money being no object, should i buy the new Geforce GT or the x800 for best gaming performance?

I'll be using:
ASUS A8V Deluxe - VIA K8T800 Pro
1 gig extreme dual channel ddr pc3200
Athlon 64 3500+
SBlaster Audigy 2 ZS 7.1

GT is 16pipes, 6800 is 12.

Well if money is no object get a 6800 Ultra or an X800XT PE.

If its between the X800 Pro and the 6800 GT, go with the GT. Its basically an underclocked Ultra with a smaller cooling unit on it. The X800 Pro however has 12 pipelines versus the 16 for the other 3 cards I mentioned.

I would get the x800xt, but I can;t find one in stock anywhere right now, so I got the x800pro. I couldn;t find the 6800gt in stock anywhere either.
