this is REALLY intresting cause i just went through all of this
I went with Nvidea for several reasons
1. Ati driver support is crappy at best >_> *points to the aiw in the corner*
2. The truth is Nvidea dominates ATI in framerate at base settings (the X800 XT doesnt get good till its at hig resoultuion; but even at that its not very higher)
3. Nvidea has an all around better user friendly interface thats very easy
4. Pixel shader 3 is going to be used in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and other high end games for years to come (so your card will be good for a while)
5. the 6800 was cheaper then the X800 XT (256megs)
bottomline: why pay more for less?
sure ATI will have maybe 5fps more in HL2 then nvidea, but hey thats one game.
meh thats how i figured, i was none-biased by the facts as i rummaged around the interweb looking for info
*hugs 6800 ultra*
im so glad i bought you, now lets eagerly wait for Farcry Pixel Shader 3
**EDIT**
WTF your saying ATI IS CHEAPER!?!?! you cant possably have researched it long and hard to even be talking in this thread if you belieave that
and yes, cooling and stuff is an extra, but thats just a good excuse to buy 8 led fans
and Nvidea has beaten ATI is many more test infact, dont go and search google "ATI BEATS NVIDEA REVIEW CHART" to base facts on
