GeForce 6800 GT or Radeon X800 XL

Hiya Guys
It kicks ass to be back into my hobbie, I havent had a pc for six months because I moved from new zealand to england.

As you can see from my sig my pc needs a new gfx card.
I'm getting 9557 on 3dmark 2001SE which aint too great.

With both the 6800 GT and the X800 XL being a similar price I was wondering which to choose.
Quote:
Today, we are looking at three Radeon X800 XL's, a part that is said to deliver similar performance to NVIDIA's GeForce 6800 GT, but costing considerably less. The default clock speeds for the reference design are 400/1000MHz, and the cards do not require an additional power connection. It looks to be an interesting part on paper, but for now, lets have a look at the contenders.
So it looks like the 6800GT is the one to go for? I've always had a radeon 9600 since My geforce mx 440 which done me well so I'm abit nervous about switching to Nvidia after a few years of radeon, so what ya guys recon?

cheers

vern
