    Dell blues....

    I ordered a X800 XT from dell for $416! However about 3 mins after I ordered they no longer sold them on there site! they emaild me and said they were out, but that they were going to get more! Well, I've been waiting three weeks! So I decided to cancel my order.....

    I am now looking at the BFG GeForceā„¢ 6800 Ultra OC for $499... The fact that it has a OC of 25MHz on the core should help, however I feel reluctant to change over to Nvidia. Since I recently killed my AIW, perhaps its time for a change! I read on a review "Some minor bandwidth limitations at 1600x1200 and 4xAA" Sine I run all my games at that res I was woundering if this should efect my buying desision? Will this be a problem?

    Thx!

    Not shure! While I now will pay more for the BFG ultra.... It might prove to be a better card, But I am reading alot of reviews that say the XT is better at 1600x1200! So I'm still deciding....

    Seems the XT800 with AA is a stronger performer than the Nvidia at 16x12. You've waited this long, so why not hold out a bit longer. Aren't the XT versions supposed to be available in Sept.? (yes, I know they've been giving availibility dates for months, but I thought they were supposed to be coming now...)

    Nomadd (happy with my 6800GT! :-))
