help me choose what graphic card to buy?

[LilHomie13]

Ok so my uncle is buying my ATI 9800 Pro for $200 and I need a new video card in the next week. Since I've seen benchmarks I'm probably gonna go with Nvidia this time. How much difference is there between the BFG 6800 GT OC and the 6800 Ultra OC when they are at stock aswell as OCed at higher speeds? Which should I get? Thanks.

Can anyone help me? And should I pre order from Best Buy?

To bad you missed out. Some time last week. Best Buy web site had 6800GT for $299. Now $100 more.

From what I've seen it's not worth the extra money to buy 6800 ultra. So far need more benchies.

Yeah I heard about that. Sucks but oh well. Is there gonna be a new offer like that one? Can the Ultra OC to EE speeds?

Should give you a good idea of what to expect. They got a pretty good overclock on the card too. The only place it fails compared to its chief rival is in AA/AF, but for the most part it'll give you better fps or resolution settings than the X800pro at stock speeds.
