x800 Pro Vs 6800GT

I have the choice of exchanging my x800 Pro for a 6800GT next week, should I do it? :bucky!:

[interman]

yes

Any particular outstanding advantages?

[interman]

well it performs better in most tests. the x800 pro might be a tad faster in hl2 though.. hard to say

Yeah, thats what I thought.

Looking past the HL2 Ati Vs Nvidia battle, which card do you think will perform better for most DirectX9 games on a 64-bit 3GHz class CPU @ 1280 x 1024 4xAA/16xAF ?

[interman]

it depends on nvidia's driver team i guess. nvidia cards aren't that fast with 4xAA, but ati is. the 6800 gt has loads of raw power though, and with the excellent drivers you can usually expect performance boosts in most new and popular games

Cool, thanks for the advice Interman! B)

[interman]

no problem

Hmm...I am actually ordering parts for my new system and I was planning on going with an X800 Pro...I've had a GF3 for 3 years and have been happy with it, but something about ATI makes me want to go with them, smaller less resource hog graphics card, and also better image quality. Now you are making me think I shouldn't go with it, but the things I just listed seem logical, especially the better image quality on certain things, as well as the better performance with aa and af turned on.

I would buy the x800xt. According to pcgamer magazine it beat the 6800 ultra and they gave it 92% whilst the 6800 scored 90%.
