Re: What should i upgrade??

I know a guy with the 6800 GS...

I find the part to be amusing because the 6800 GT and X800 Pro where always considered to be direct competition. The final refresh for both parts changed their basic formula: while the X800 XL gained another quad (cluster of 4 pipelines) and dropped in frequency by 75 MHz, the 6800 GS lost a quad and gained 75 MHz. I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but ATI and NVIDIA are yet again showing that they have quite different ideas.

Although still a viable gaming solution, the 7800 GS out classes both of them completely. The improvements in the G70 really shine in the latest games.
