    The X800GT isn't as fast as the Geforce 6800GT, its meant to compete with the 6600GT moreof.

    The X800XT will be easily faster in everthing except for Doom3. Buy that as the X850XT isn't worth the extra dough and the 6800GT is good but not at the same level.

    HIS is the manufacturer and hightech is the model #, both cards are pretty much equal in performance but i personally would get the X800 Pro!

    also, aint the 6800gt got a 1000mhz core clock or memory clock?

    if i modded the x800pro to be an x800xt, how long do you think the card would last for?
