My bro is going to be upgrading his graphics card and has just enough to get either the <A HREF="http://www.sapphiretech.com/vga/toxic-pro.asp" target="_new">Sapphire Toxic x800pro </A> or the <A HREF="http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/winfast_a400_1.html" target="_new">Leadtek 6800 gt</A>. He said that he needs to have the video in function but also wants to have performance for the latest games coming out and some intensive graphics applications for his school. He is pretty much dead set on getting either of these two cards, but if he goes with the 6800gt he will need an extra card for the video-in that he needs. Could anyone suggest a good add-in card if he goes with the 6800 route? What would be the best solution for him to get the video-in feature but also have good gaming performance? If he goes the Sapphire route, he plans on softmodding into the x800 XT PE. Thanks in advance for any help.
