360374 2005-06-01 22:21:00 I am still trying to decide between the above two video cards. I know the X800 XL is cheaper and in many cases performs better than the Nvidia 6800 GT. However I am also aware the the 6800GT also has a few other functions the X800XL does not have like pixel shader 3.0 and DirectX 3c support. From what I have read or am able to ascertain these extra features really slow the 6800Gt to a crawl, they are great in principle however the card is not really powerfull enought for them to be really of use. If my reckoning is correct then the X800Xl video card represents a better buy?

What are peoples perceptions of my reasoning?

Comments welcome as it will help me guide my decision on which to purchase - Shomenno

360376 2005-06-02 06:44:00 I have a Gigabyte 6800GT. The only game I have ever seen it struggle with is Lomac a flight sim and nothing will run that on high.

If you want some benchmarks from a real life system gimme a yell.
