Anybody see any benchmarks comparing the GeForce 6800, 6800 GT, and 6800 Ultra? I am looking at the 6800, but I want to see what kind of FPS and benchmarks it gets. If the card is not that much faster, I may just go with a 9800 Pro. Your thoughts? What ATI or Nvidia card is the best bang for your buck in the $200-$300 range?

I don't think there are any benchmarks with the 9800pro vs the 6800nu. But the 6800nu preforms a bit better then the 9800xt and better then the 5950 ultra for about a hundred bucks less.
$299 is its sugguest retail price.

here ya go, good all round tests too. In most tests its marginally better then the 9800xt, but fall behind in a couple not by much tough.

There are 256mb version of the 6800nu, so that will fair better at higher resolutions then then regular 128 mb version.

lol what driver version are ya using, there is a new one coming out soon. For some reason it seemed like nV missed the bugs in the 6800nu driver's set.

If you have the money go with the GT.
It has the 16 pipes and is clocked alittle lower than the NU...BUt you can probly OC it easily to Ultra speed.
