from what i remember a vanilla 6600 and a vanilla x700 perform pretty much the same... in that case it boils down to if you prefer ati or nvidia

that 6800 is the best choice for the OP, but newegg doesnt ship to Canada
 
LOL....I know it really sucks....anyways .thanks 4 the replies.....guess my buddy is gonna go with the forsa since its the cheapest & preforms the same as the other 2 cards....another question my buddy wants 2 know is what is a good card that has tv input?....wants 2 watch & record tv shows & do some video editing.....oh ya...willing 2 only spend no more than $100.....thanks again.....
 
For 100$ CAN i dont know of any videocards with decent video in capabilities.

You'd be better off getting a cheap TV tuner card such as a Compro TV plus, they can go as low at 40-50$ and you'd have a better result in the end.
 
I'd personally recommend the FORSA GF6600GT PCIX 128MB @ $142.99
Because, even though you said not GT, i think it's worth the extra 42$ (weren't you looking at a 130$ vanilla 6600 anyways?)

Oh yeah, I'm curious, where are you getting your prices from ?
