6800GT is better, but wait a month or so and ATI will release the X800 XL, whcih will cost the less or same as the 6800GT and perform better.

X800XT Platinum is already out - it outperforms the 6800

Isn't the X850 out too?

How much money you're willing to spend? Although this card is fast and that card is fast, but whatever card you get is always determine on how much you're willing to spend.

the 6800GT is 'better than' the x800pro in theory but don't forget all the trouble Halo owners are having with nVidia drivers. Halo is a directx game and ATi's card (x800) will therefore be better suited. seriously though don't buy either yet. wait a bit for price drops and new cards.

Yes, and it kicks butt. It has a 500MHz core that I've overclocked to up to 550. That's faster than the non-overclocked X800. And 180 is the RETAIL suggested price. Most people don't buy from newegg.com (go there if you want a good deal), they'll go to CrapUSA or Worst Buy and get it at the normal price. Besides, it comes with Half-Life 2, which it can run at near max settings without a problem.

$129 for a Rosewill version at newegg, though I don't suggest them. the Sapphire goes for $136, it's much more reliable.

The reflecting shield on both the Elites and Master Chief will not render correctly. It won't give that see through but reflecting look while the Radeon cards will.

Funny how Halo was supposed to be a game made for nVidia (has their logo on the box)...

Heyyo,

Lol, yeah, interesting how a game that was bought out and made specifically to run onna Nvidia console sucks ass on PC... I think it's videogame karma. ;)

Sapphire's ok for radeon cards, I have one, it does the job ok, just make sure when you read those vram chips they say "samsung" or another good brand, or you might've bought the crappy ram ones...

How's the x700 PCI express? Will it run halo at 1280x1024?

Don't even ask that! Of course it will! lol

It's pretty good, a few steps behind x800 but a very nice card, there's no doubt about it.

The X700 Pro is the best card in its prie range for PCI-Express. If you have PCI-Express I would reccomend it highly.

Hehe, we have so many threads on here about graphics cards. It's the dominant thing people post about.
