I am building a new system and I cant decide what video card to get. I am currently considering the X800 gto2 (modable to X850xt) or the 6800gs. I don't want to spend more than about 200$. Which card would be the best at this price point?

Somthing else to consider is the possibility of modding my motherboard and running SLI. For this I suppose I would need to go NVIDIA.

Any thoughts?
 
then you go Nvidia. Both choices are good. I think in your price range, you'd get a nice deal w/Nvidia. A few recent posts just covered this price range too.
 
X800GTO2 all the way! It's definately a better choice then the 6800GS, and has better IQ as well.
 
you can now get a 850xt for less than the gto2 and not have to do that flashing/massive overclock bullshit. i had one a year or so ago, upgraded from 6800gt. ran about 10-15% better than the 6800gt agp, iirc.
i got an oem 3dconnect x850xt for $430 which was a fantastic price at the time (almost exactly 1 year ago). mostly thet were going for over 5 bills. so this card has depreciated around $300 (60%) in a year. nvidia cards like the 6600gt and 6800gt are selling for around the same price as they were last year. i dont know what this means but for some unknown reason you will be able to resell your nvidia cards for a much better price than the competition's cards.
