Which is better if they are the same price (comparing performance) and there is no advantages to buying Nvidia?

256MB Ati X800GT

128MB Nvidia 6600GT

256MB = better for rendering bigger textures faster.

Nvidia has Pixel Model 3.0 though, which will be crucial for future games. It really is a tough decision, depends on what games you want to play.

Well i have seen the 6600GT in action on a friends computer playing decently intensive games and its a great card in my opinion. Can't really say anything for the X800GT but from my experience the 6600GT is a very decent card.

The 6600GT is a GREAT card, but the x800GT is a nice card as well.

It's not like i'm going to be playing any high graphics intensive games, it's just for casual gaming and some video editing.

Well for video editing either card will do (For consumer applications)

However in games, if you look at benchmarks the 6600GT still currently has the lead.

is the X800 better or worse than the X800GT? at tom's hardware it looks like the X800 is better or equal to the 6600GT
