The card is faster than a 6800U in certain situations.Actually BFG downgrades, he got rid of his 6800U for a X800XL.
If a monitor can't go above 1600x1200 chances are any current tier 1 or tier 2 card is wasted on it. Or to put it another way if you can't do high resolutions you're wasting your time with these cards.

You mean when the planets are aligned a certain way and the moon is a waxing gibbous?
I'm just kidding. Would appreciate it if you could show us these certain situations. If you don't mind that is.

Give me your best benchmark that shows the x800XL being faster in HL2 than a 6800U. Please. I don't doubt you, but would like to see.

Alright, it looks like I got some confirmation. It does look like the 30" Apple display works perfect with a 7800GTX! I'll have to post some pics when I get my setup! I'm pretty excited! I'm gonna have to make all the Dell 2405 owners look like they just purchased a 17" monitor.![]()

Op deserves to be shot. I may be an ATI fan, but this is no comparison. I jumped for the 7800GT too. UT2k4 is the most CPU dependent game in benchmarks done today and you linked to a POS like that. If an X850XT is the same price, then you should get the 7800 cuz its FASTER... duh. How simple is that.
Why get an Athlon 3500+ when you can get a Pentium 4 2.8 GHz for the same price? Yea.. nice comparison.

Hey I have a 2.8 w/ HTIt works great.
Yea if you are PCI-E I really see no reason to go ATI atm. I had no choice since I was AGP and I couldn't play most of my games without significant lag. The guy is probably either 1) a fanboy or 2) having buyer's remorse.
You can browse selected benchmarks for UT2004, Far Cry, Painkiller and HL2 here.Would appreciate it if you could show us these certain situations. If you don't mind that is.
