I am looking at either a 6800GS or a Connect3D X800GTO.
I know the Connect3D GTOs have a great success rate with unlocking the 4 pipes lines and have a great overclocking range (a mildly overclocked x800xt).
As of now Half Life 2 is my game of choice but I may be switching graphics cards when new games come out. I usually sell my graphics card within about a month or 2 so it doesn't loose to much value and upgrade to a better one. The 7800GT would probably be my next one.
But I wanted to be able to play HL2 at my max res (1366x7680) with AA and AF full. I'm just not sure if the 6800GS has any distinct advantages over the GTO other than SM3 and initially better clock speeds.
$180 for the GTO and $200 for the GS. BF2 might be another game I play as well as Oblivion: Elder Scrolls when it comes out, but I'll probably have a 7800GT by then. I was hoping on not spending much on new graphics cards so trying to get a 7800GT when it reached under $250 (which may be a while) and just selling the other one before it looses to much value. I don't see the GS going any lower than 200 for a little while and the GTO maybe going up.
I just wasn't sure how much difference there would be in a 7800GT and a 6800GS if I keep the res at 1366x768 on full AA and AF.
