Yup, that pretty much smokes the competition.

But i ain't dumping the 6800GT until it's well below Ã¢Â‚Â¬ 450 ($ 500).

Impressive. But the escalating prices for high-end cards is getting rather stupid. Gaming is never going to reach mass market levels when top of the line cards run $600-$700 clams. For that much you can get:

- Dell computer
- Xbox 360 Delux and 5-7 games
- Widescreen HD TV (<30 inches)
- 60 steak dinners at Sizzler

Can you notice a remarkable difference to justify paying $800 for a card vs $400?

I have an ATI 9800XT and am running FEAR with full effects on and AA and the other stuff also on at 1024X768 and getting good frame rate. Ive played through the game already. Does the new NVIDIA do something different other than FPS to make me have to drop all that cash on a new card?

Hey people chill about the $649 price tag. Its not meant for the masses. Complain about the price of sports or luxury cars why dont you. They have affordable versions of the 7800 for you.

Holy cow, what a monster. Between this and the 6800GS, does ATI even have a chance?
