if you're not in rush then wait till first half of next year. ATi will release their new cards then...breaking the 18 months lifecycle that was set by Nvidea.... :dennis:

They Perform very similar. Just comes down to preference, I mean you really dont notice + - 3fps. I went from Nvidia (Gf2), to ATi (9600XT) Now 6800GT.

wait 'till december, then the X850's come out and will outperform the 6800 Ultra with ease.

It has much better fill rate and slightly higher Memory Bandwidth. There is also a GeForce 6800 Ultra Extreme edition, but it's still not as good as the Radeon X800 XT PE. The differences in the features are, NVIDIA having his 3.0 shader and DX 9.0c full support while ATI has only 2.0b shader and DX 9.0 full support. You could wait if you like for a new card from ATI, or buy the current one ;) I would wait to see if ATI will come up with new features ... and then decide.
