X1600XT or 6800GS?

You're not going to get much more than 510 for the core on stock cooling.

Yeah I was gonna add 003, you forgot to mention the 6800GS has a 256-bit memory interface whereas the X1600XT only has a 128-bit. Sorta like the 6600GT.

^ He said that already many times, but im sorry Beed. Farcry is an Nvidia game. The case has the Nvidia logo right on it.

That dosn't mean anything. UT2004 has a big animated nvidia logo when you open it up, but benchmarks show that ati hardware is slightly faster on it.

Hot hardware got there eVGA 6800GS to 540mhz core 1230mhz ram on stock air cooling .

ATI cards are always faster in Far Cry, despite the Nvidia logo. Maybe its because it makes extensive use of less-intensive DX9.0a shaders, which ATI is very good at.

That is true, but saying its an ATI game it is not.
