Well um I am more of a ATI guy myself... nVIDIAs cards are good no doubt and
they make solid drivers but the design of the cards are at fault... usually
needs a separate power source. And Radeon cards usually are a bit better than
GeForce.. but thats my humble opinion
well i do want the ati x800 xt but the only problem is that it does not fully
support pixel shader 3.0 like the 6800 does so nvidia has an advantage there,
but the only problem with the 6800 is that it requires a lot of juice from the
psu to power up.
ummm....i heard it really kicks ass when running games at high resolutions but
not much speed improvement in lower resolutions.....plus that thing eats power
like crazy....u need like 450watt PSU to support 2 molex connection on the
card...ROFL.....i'm giong to wait till ATI makes something to counter this
there's not much of a worry about nvidia's pixel shader 3.0 since i don't see
games using that in the foreseeable future. i've pretty much converted to the
ati side since ati cards don't need a hairdryer for cooling.
Any toughts and comments?
=) they brang back dual SLI weeeee
Unless any of you still stuck with GeForce 2 or 3, better give it a go.

i have a PNY GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 256 MB card right now, and i'm happy with that until the prices on the 6800s lower
i definately say the radeon X800 beats teh Geforce 6800, look at the benchmarks
ya, the GeForce 6800 and the X800 are a little spendy i think... im gonna go w/a 5950 for $350.. and that will last me At least 2 years
i prefer ati cards... cuz ati gots better tv outs for their video cards
unless nvidia is adding a small nuclear plant on those card i won't buy them ... a fricking 480Watt PSU is recommended ... they are cookoo
it's true the 6800 has more advanced shaders and precision than the ATi ......
think i wait for the 6800mx ... <g>
too expensive, wouldn't spend more than 180€ on a video card anymore =/
