ATI_NVIDIA price vs Performace whats better 6800 GT or X800 Pro ?

I allways bought my cards this way, thats why i have a 9600 Pro at the
moment.

From what i read the 6800GT is a more powerfull card and cheaper is
this correct, though you may have to buy a bigger PSU, me only got a
350 Watt at the moment but upgrading to a Silent 400 Watt soon, so it
don't matter :)

Also the 6800GT seems to a great performer in DirectX games as well as
OpenGl games well Not sure about DirectX games but so far from whative
read.

So anyone help me out, i realy would like to upgrade, going to give
the 9800 Pro a MISS and try for somthing that will last me alot longer
in the upgrade life cycle.

Thanks.

Either will provide you with adequate performance for current games.
You're not going to make a mistake with any although IMO the current
power requirements of the nVIDIA cards is mad.

Either will do you fine, however, *IF* you plan on upgrading your
motherboard in the next year or so, I would hold off on going top buck
on one of these guys and get the 9800 Pro or x600. Simple reason is
that you should be seeing native PCI-Express cards out there, not ones
using bridge chips. And also you'll be able to use that spiffy SLI
connector on the nVidia cards :)

But if you want a go right now, either should do you good.
