I\'d prolly get the 6800 GT. But I\'m not sure which is faster actually... and if you were to get the GT, check out the GS. It\'s faster and cheaper.

EDIT: Say, like this one:

Yeah sowwy, that just dawned on me a few minutes after I posted. Oh well. :)

Check out the comparisons on sites like http://www.tomshardware.com or http://www.ixbt.com (it\'s also available in Engrish somewhere). There you should be able to see which one is better for your needs... I\'d do it myself, but I\'m going out the door in 5 minutes.

What mm said. The 6800GT is faster in most games.. especially OpenGL titles.

Although, I recently found myself wanting to do some VHS-to-DVD transfers and my 6800GT doesn\'t have the I/O. X800XT AIW does, and is only marginally slower than the 6800GT.. so if you think you\'ll be working with video.. definitely consider the ATi card.

If you like sm3.0 HDR, get the 6800GT or GS.
