I'm currently running a passively cooled gigabyte X800 (the one with the X800XL memory speeds) and I'm getting a bit twitchy and want to upgrade. It's coming down to performance vs. features right now. The HIS X1600XT at ~$180, which has far better media/playback performance, and the the HIS X850XT at ~$200, which has far better gaming performance are probably the best looking options to me right now (there isn't a 6800gs with passive or even quiet cooling yet so it gets ruled out automatically).
Should I jump on one of the above deals or just chill out and wait until AM2 hits the shelves to spend my money?
