    Agreed.

    I've always been an avid supporter of Nvidia since when I had my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop and upgraded the gfx from GeForce 4 Go to an ATI Radeon 9000 and had to use Catalyst drivers... needless to say, they just didn't cut it.

    Also, Maximum PC has been pimping the 6800 all over the x800.

    i agree with you there. the 6800 is a very nice card in general. but i'm still very jelous and will always hate your for being more powerful than me. lol

    did you save some money by switching video cards?

    i believe the 6800's run cheaper with their x800 counterparts . . .

    what, no way there is practically no diff between the 2 cards the only games that u will probably see a difference in is Doom and HL2 as each company has teamed up with one developer, so to say the 6800 is better is bs and u didnt base it on any benchies!?
