    Talk me into it. Should I go with an X800XT shipped to my door for $500? Or should I get the Gainward 6800GT Golden Sample for $434 at door? I will mostly be playing HL2 and it's mods when it comes out, and I don't care about D3 performance. DX9 is more important to me, and I can't find anything...

    Leadtek or Gainward?

    Which 6800GT is the better deal? A Gainward 6800GT Golden Sample for ~$430 shipped or Leadtek A400 GT(6800GT) for ~$405 shipped? Which will be the better performer? I am leaning toward the Gainward performance wise.
