Read reviews,the 6800GT is almost better then X800XT and costs like ~150 less..Normaly im a ATI man,but i gotta admit when nvidia takes a win

Bah new G-force just the flavor of the month

The 480 watt psu was a [img]http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gerald.marley/Smilies/bullshit.gif[/img] estimate by nvidia, seen people with 350 watt psu's running a 6800 ultra with no problems.

its not that i cant afford a new powersupply, im not about to rip apart my new pc in order to get one. and with all the benchmarking i've seen, the ultra extreme pulls out ahead of the x800 xt in almost every testing except a few, such as far cry.

For the record

d3d = ati
ogl = nvidia

plzdie:

Not fanboy, I don't even own an ATI card. ATI = Canadian, so support that fucknig economy. I'm a nationalist, not a fanboy.

considering quite a few games in the future will use the doom 3 engine, and obviously nvidia does better, thats why i want the nvidia. but im still not sure.

The D3 engine is fluff though. I bet more games will base their engine more along the Source's principles. ATI can really pull it through HL2.

oOo: most games will use the half life 2 engine - supported by ati

Well source is really valves first engine since the socalled "halflife" engine of the original game was nothing more than the quake 1 engine with a code rewrite. iD are well tested in the engine department and loads of games used the quake 3 engine, I would imagine doom3 would be another engine that a lot of developers will use.
