Those 6800's seem to be tearing ATI a new one in Open GL .
And as my LIFE runs on Open GL (IL-2) it might be the direction of my next major purchase ......

Have you seen there performance in Doom3? They beat the X800XT's!!
Big Al they are in-stock at PCWORLD component centre and have been for AGES. Not to mention they're the cheapest price around http://www.pcwcomponentcentre.co.uk/...6800ga8f26lpbg

Yeah, just read it in another thread. Not sure who BFG are though...
I think I'll wait for ATi to release their doom3 driverset before I make any sort of judgement on this.
Latest Far Cry benchies and the x800pro and the 6800GT are about equal. Makes me think the x800 will come good in doom 3 with a little work on the openGL drivers. Wait and see I shall.
Sound like yoda I do.
The 6800 GT cards are very nice, running one in my shuttle atm, with regards to the doom III benchmarks, take em with a pinch of salt untill ATI relese there next few driver sets
Salazaar : <Touching wood as I write this...>
If ATi's OpenGL drivers were decent then surely performance in Linux games would be half decent? Well I'm afraid it isn't on this 9600 Pro!
I'm fast being converted. I think at the end of the year I'll be changing over.

The problem with waiting for the next driver set for the X800 is that the next gen cards won't be far away (they could even be waiting for the next gen!). Plus ATi have had 4 years odd notice of Doom III, and even more years since the first Radeon was released. I think the majority of the advantages the new drivers will bring is full (or as close as possible) compliance to OpenGL. Probably no more than 10fps more since the existing OpenGL set will already be very optimised and fast. Of course if they do become signficantly more compliant, existing games may require patching since the workarounds for driver bugs may cause bugs themselves.
Buy an Nvidia graphica cards then. If you think its the best choice for you...
Nvidia have always been the best choice, sry but i've always been an nvidia fanboy..still really a 3dfx fanboy at heart =)
Atis cards [seem to] take shortcuts, and while this lets them win on price and performance in current games [not inc doom3] recent events have shown that nvidia are once again coming out on topI only own a 9800pro now cos i couldnt afford a fx5950 ;/
I think most people are agreed that ATi have had the edge during the 9700 - 9800XT releases. Can't really see Nvidia was the best choice during that time.
Also, Spud, your sig, with the Heuxs rating, gap, Sig picture, gap and then listed specs, is too big. See if you can make the whole thing smaller. Thanks.
get the PNY one. safer bet
that PC world one is pretty damn cheap for them to be fair
i wonder be converted, 9700 all the way
