  • New NVidia Card: 6800GS

    $250 USD price tag, performance is comparable to an X800XL (and spec wise similar to a 6800GT), and it features the new PureVideo engine from the 6600 series.

    oh yeah, it completely spanks the X1600XT.

    quote from The Tech Report review

    The biggest knock on the GeForce 6800 GS, in my book, comes from another source. If you're going to fork over $249 for a graphics card, you would probably do well to consider shelling out the additional $70-100 for a GeForce 7800 GT instead, if you can. The 7800 GT delivers significantly more performance, thanks in part to the tweaks NVIDIA made between GeForce generations six and seven. Similarly, if Radeon X1800 XL prices settle into the same range as the 7800 GT as supply becomes more plentiful, that card could become a very attractive option. I don't advocate reaching into a higher price bracket often, but this is one case where it may make some sense.
