BMG or BFG??? 5900 ultra 128?

6800 will trounce the 5950 ultra

 

[Ludic]

I'd go 6800.

6800 for sure. But then again you can look into the 6800U and 6800GT's.

I just looked at my receipt from Best buy for the Nvidia 5900XT OC = $229.99

Is this a RIP?

The research I have done has resulted me from going for the 6800 to now going for the 6800 GT. There is a 31% increase in performance when going from the 6800 to GT model, and a 30% increase in price. (I payed 337 shipped from provantage). If that provantage didnt come around, I would have bought the eVGA regular 6800 for 242$ on back order from www.buy.com. The eVGA comes with half life 2, so that will save me 20$.
