"nVIDIA GeForce FX 6800 LE over 5900 XT"

Is the 6800 LE much better than the 5900 XT?
I was wondering because I'm getting a new computer and you can choose either of these graphics cards for it (and some others).

Thanks

Whoo!! After 2 months of "awaiting stock" of the x800xt from a certain supplier, I've cancelled my order and gone for the Gigabyte X800 Pro VIVO version.

This apparently ships with 16 pipelines working out of the box, so no hardmodding is required. A simple BIOS flash to the Gigabyte X800XT PE and Whoo... all the Ati drivers recognise it as a fully fledged X800XT!!

(Cookie you might want to look into this!!)

Im selling my 17" TFT and Ive got myself a cheapish 19" sont flatscreen trinitron.Besides, I hated watching DVDs on the TFT as the contrast was pretty bad.

Bring on those 1600x1200 Far Cry and Doom 3 sessions!!

Whats the best graphics card can you get at a market right now.....

Apparently so, though I can only find one review of it just now -

Looks to do better across the board, if only marginally in many cases.
