Hey.

Well I'm buying a new computer within the next few weeks and I'd like a little bit of advice on what Graphic Card to choose from. Should I go for either an ATI 9800 Pro or the Nvidia 6800 LE. Both at 128mb.

I don't have any other choice and please don't tell me to build my own machine. Am to busy in life at the moment to put the time and effort into that.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nvidia 6800 non ultra simply because it has more pipelines(aswell as higher clock speeds), just make sure you do not get the gainward version of the 6800 because it has 8 though there's a way to unlock 12 there's not a 100% chance of you getting those though.I would go for the XFX ultra 6800 128mb for £205 on overclockers site, best card for £200 mark really.ATI radeon 9800 pro is great still but just doesn't have the new features this card has and run direct x9 featured games as good as it.

Nothing wrong with the 9800 pro it's just the 6800 NU has more features, speed and lastability for it's money.If you want the BEST value cards then go for a 6800GT or a radeon x800 pro, both equal roughly in speeds but the pro has 12 pipelines, can unlock it to 16 though if you get the gigabyte version.

I personally would get a 6800GT, which i did and i love the card a lot, way better than the mediocre FX series nvidia released previously.Also the radeon x800 pro and 6800GT can easily be overclocked to their higher level models clock speeds.But between those go 6800LE definetly.

Or wait for the AGP version of the ATi 6600GT which is due in a couple of weeks and should be around the £130-150 mark.
