WQ87 said:You do have a point, but seeing how the X800 and 6800 are fairly equal in performance and quality, i would still go with the 6800 because of the Pixel Shader 3.0. Give me a reason why you won't go for it. A good reason.
I got two for you
1. Because the 6800Ultra needs alot more power than the X800XT, which actually uses less power than the 9800XT Yes, most can run the 6800 Ultra on 400watts and what not, but Nvidia doesn't recommend a 480watt PSU for no reason.... And the reason why the 6800 needs so much power? Because it has 60 million extra transistors just for Pixel Shader 3.0.....
2. The X800XT looks so much nicer and doesn't take up that extra PCI card, where as the 6800 Ultra looks so huge and bulky You have to also wonder about noise
