Your links are broken. Anyway, I think I would probably go with the 6800GS but if you could afford it then I wouold definately get the 7800GT cause it is a great card with performance on par with the 7800GTX but a heck of a lot cheaper. :D
 
6800GS much better bang for your bucks, but like flying said, defintely go for the 7800GT, the best bang for your bucks :)
 
You guys don't even think the X850XT is worth it, it's just that it has higher stock speeds and is about the same price
 
since the links are broken i'll post the specs

the X8** series isnt worth it from ati it was crap, no SM2 support and they realeased it just to sell something against the awesome 6*** series from nvidia. and also so overpriced still
 
Ya ati got wupped with their 800 series, go for the gold and get the 7800gt :D

or be an fps/benchmark whore like me and spend way too much money for the gtx because you are too stupid to realize that the gt does basically just as well for a **** of a lot less cost. :(

That and I am wishing I had gotten a better hard drive. My 160 gig one kind of sux :eek: but now I am too poor to do anything about it.
 
So even though the card that i have listed have higher clock speeds they are still worse than the 7800gt? Is that because of the number of piplines? If it is, what makes pipelines the deciding factor when it comes to quality?
 
Yes overall clockspeed helps some, but mainly the pipelines, like the 9600XT is like 500/1200 or something but it only has 4 pipelines so it sucks :) the 6800GT only has 350/1000? and 16 pipelines and it whoops the 9600XT :D
