Thinking about a EVGA 7800GT or a HIS 850XT any sugestions on which would be best. 850 XT is about $70 cheaper after rebate and I have always been a ATI fan but been thinking about changing.
 
Do you mean 7800GT or 7800GTX? There is no 7800XT as far as I know. Either way, 7800 cards are one generation newer than the x800 cards, so 7800 is the much better choice. 6800 competes with x800, 7800 cometes with the x1800 cards.
 
Thanks I changed it to say GT on the EVGA card. Any more input?

Hmm, I've had both but I dunno which I would pick, the 7800GT has some newer features, but i liked the X850XT in some games better, I guess 7800GT would be your better choice, or maybe even an X1800XL
 
right now i have both an agp x800xt (that can OC pretty nicely) and a 7800gt. im liking the 7800gt way more (upgraded new mobo) the stock 3dmark05 score was over 7k on the 7800gt. my x800xt didnt break 6k without OCing.

also seeing a lot better FPS in all my games.
