Best AGP Card on the ATI adn nVidia front?

[LoXish]

Buddy rodered an x800 Pro and for some reason I don't think that's the best card for his money...

The best cards are the X800XT Platinum Edition from ATI and the Geforce 6800Ultra from Nvidia.

In the price range of the X800Pro however (~$400), the better choice is the Geforce 6800GT. The X800Pro is a powerful card but the 6800GT is more so for the money.

Correction: The X850XT-PE is the most powerful.
6800GT is indeed the best bang for buck in the $400 price range. Very nice card :)

However, I find it difficult to put a graphics card that costs $400 in any kind of 'bang-for-your-buck' category. :rolleyes:

So would I.

I'd say most powerful card on the shelves is definately the Radeon X800 XT-PE or the GF6800U.

there are rumours that the X800XL can OC up to and past X850XT PE speeds since it is based on 110nm technology.
