x800GTO or Nvidia 6800 XTreme

My kids do some moderate gaming and I'm in the market for a new video card.
Both these cards are in my price range running about $100 AR at Newegg. Any
preferences? I've been out of the video card market for a couple of years.

Both of these cards are excellent choices. It comes down to personal
preference. I prefer the ATI card over the Nvidia card myself. Note that
the Ati card you linked to has 1 VGA & 1 DVI connector. The Nvidia card
has 2 DVI connectors.

Yes, but the Nvidia cards alos include 2 DVI>VGA adapters it's not an issue
if you have an analog monitor.
