Dual x1900's or Dual 7900GTX's
I'm not sure, but i believe Quad 7800GTXs outperform both of those, but when you get to that level of performance, the only difference is a few hundred points in 3D mark 06.
You bog-standard x800 is probably the equivalent of a 6600GT, and the x800xt is slightly superior to it, but the 66 series support shader model 3.0 whereas the xx series don't, so while the high-end xx series card may outperform some of the mid range 6 series cards, the 6 series will look far better.
This changes slighlty however with the x1x and 7 series, the x1800 and above can do HDR and AA at the same time whereas the 7 series can't, BUT, the x1800 only emulates the required hardware, so it is very slow. If the 7800s did it (which they theoretically can), it would look far better.
