if you dont care for dx10, dont bother with the 8800. I have one now but that is because i was able to buy it cheap on ebay and sell the 7900 GTO i had. So basically i was able to get the 8800 for like $50 bucks.

But, if you play PC games and plan on having this card for 3 years, i would suggest getting the 8800. Games are changing drastically, and a high end card is needed to experience the game the way it was intended to be played.

... well i see that i basically contradicted myself.

But really, if you play games and wont upgrade for a long time after this, I would go for the 8800. but please please dont waste all that money buying in a store! what a rip off! find a way to pay online, using paypal. You dont need a credit card, just a bank account. You will save so much money!

I got my 8800 GTS for $300. Shop around and you will find good deals!

and upgrading from your 6800, you will see a HUGE improvement.

I used to have a 6800, then went to 7900 GTO, and what a happy day that was. I play games like COD2 and BF2, and with that upgrade alone my FPS increased crazy amounts. The upgrade to the 8800 hasnt been as significant, but i do see the difference.
