I'm in the market for a new graphics card. Right now I've got a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5600, and I need to upgrade. I heard that the GeForce FX 6800 GT is the best right now.

Could anybody recommend a really good graphics card?

the x800XT is nice. The 6800 GT can still beat it though. *dont know why i typed nu up there. Gforce6800 GT is the way to go.

I agree 100%. The best card, not nessesscarily the best for the money, but just the plain best is the 6800 ultra. I am gonna go with the x800pro myself.

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

I have the ATi 9200 and even though it's getting old, it's still a solid graphics card and handles Doom 3 quite nicely. So buy an ATi card.

6800>ATI 9800 line, Nvidia FX line.
6800GT>or=X800pro
6800Ultra>or=X800XT

Nvidia's performance is much greater in OpenGL rendering games like Doom 3. This round the Nvidia 6800 series is a better product.

Actually DDR can be different on the same card. I have seen the 9800 with 512mb even. But i myself would go with the Nvidia.

You guys are all so lucky. Try playing Halo on a three year-old computer, with an Nvidia GeForce 5200FX, and winning. It's harder than it looks.

i have to play Halo with a piece of -blam!- integrated chip. it has 64 megs,when the requirements are 32 minimum,and its still not good enough
