Ok, I personally have an MSI 6600GT and I love it, because it was the best bang for the buck.

I now see so many different cards priced at $299. For example, the 6800GS that was released not to long ago is $299. Along with that is the eVGA 7800GT, and also the ATI X800's and X850's are priced similar in that range too (I don't really know the ATI cards much anymore).

With all of these cards to choose from in the same price range, which one is your best buy of those?

I am going to guess the 7800GT?

first off the 6800gs is $199 not $299. there is also the x800gto2 for around $200. the x800gto2 can easily be turned into a x850. if you have a 6600gt then i would get the 7800gt. the 6800gs would not make much of an upgrade compared to the 7800gt.
 
Woops, sorry its early (7am) and I misread newegg or something. Yea, 6800GS is $199.

So do you want a $199 card or a $299 card? If you want a $299 card then yeah, 7800GT is the best. If you want a $199 card then you might consider getting an x800gto2 and making it an x850.
