what im worried about is the 6800's ability to do AA/AF well keeping frames up....x800 xt handles that better ...soo im confused on what to do...i understand some get 6800gt for doom 3 but im really only going to be play HL2 and CSS
you think i should invest on a gf 6800gt or go for ati..... i don't play doom3 much but i will be playing tons of half-life2 and i was wondering is HL2 going to run on open GL or D3D??? anyways you think the gt would play hl2 better than ati?
thanks sm8000, bestbuy it is! i never thought of looking there i thought it would be way overpriced there...thanks! but it is sold out :( hopefully won't be in november

This is the cheapest i could find the BFG GF 6800GT 256mb OC'ed - $402 which is a nicer price than newegg's... and i think for $20 more its worth buying the BFG over the eVGA...

$380 (opps its $90 less than the BFG but still does the BFG name worth extra $90?)

Why is the BFG version of the GF 6800gt 256mb costs almost $140 more than a eVGA version of the same card? Just because the BFG version is overclocked??? its worth $140 more? when i can get the eVGA at stock speeds and overclock the card myself saving me $140 would be more rational right? Or am...
Best Card to get with $200 is definately a ati radeon 9800pro 128mb you can find it for as low as $149 on pricewatch.com ....the most you will get for that 5200 is $40 thats pretty much what its worth. The 9800pro is an excellent card you will notice i HUGE performance boost in farcry.
Your kidding right? To put things in prospective check out this website....

im looking to upgrade from a ati radeon 9800pro to a geforce 6800GT but i can't decide which version of the 6800gt to get the eVGA or BFG OCed version of the card? If the BFG would be better where can i get it from (link) i can't find any BFG geforce 6800gt 256mb cards....or would i be better of...
