£184.99

A 6800 can play doom 3 on ultra high settings as it was designed with Nvidia cards in mind. A 6800 can also have its pipes unlocked with software called Rivatuner, making it better than it is. But as you said, it doesn't have 256 MB so sod that.

If you don't mind going slighlt over budget you can get a 6800GT for £274.99 :

The 6800GT has the full 16 pipes and 6 verts like the best cards out there e.g the ones that r over the 300quid mark. The x800 pro would also be good enough to play games on ultra settings, but u need a good sytem with ample proccessing speed and ram to match the demanding games u wanna play.

If you could squeeze an extra £20 , a 6800GT would fit your requirements nicely, and probably last a few years to boot.

Personally, I'd for a X800. Something inherently nasty about Nvidia.

WARNING EVACUATE THE AREA.... FANBOY ALERT.. the 6800gt pwns the x800 pro just take a look at all the bench marks.. LIVE WITH IT

[Mblaster]

IMHO 6800GT > X800 Pro
and X800 XT PE > 6800 Ultra

So that means get the 6800GT (although it's slightly outside your budget).

Wait till after Xmas... I'm fairly sure you will be able to pick a a 6800GT of some sort for £250.

Are you a chav kid?

[bertie]

He does have a point david - GT does perform better and can be had for 236 or so from pcworldcomponentcentre.co.uk - there's something inherently nasty about both Nvidia and ATI, so I'd just recommend the best value for your budget - the GT

[davidstone28]

I wasn't saying that the GT is or isn't better is terms of price / performance, I was simply asking him if he was a chav kid. From the way he writes, you have to wonder.

[alexander]

I quite agree Dave, Damn chavs....

I want to cull them all...

[ed^chigliak]

Prices seem to be high for christmas so if you can wait you should be able to get the 6800GT for £250

[alterion]

lol no i'm not a chav... it seems to be the UK word of the moment. It was even discussed on radio 4 this morning

Great input there !

Google.

People should try it some time. Tells you all you know about any 'nastiness' associated with Nvidia, their card and their marketing.
