I'm looking at PCIE graphics cards since I was able to get that AMD bundle

So what would be a good PCIE graphics card in the sub $250 range.

6800 (vanilla)
x800 XT or Pro

What should I get?

 

[Wraith]

Unless you're finding a really excellent price on the X800 XT(or the XL, for that matter), they're out of the $250 range. The 6800 Vanilla should perform just slightly worse than the X800 Pro, excluding OpenGL-intensive games(Doom 3) where it will take a small lead.

If you're getting a sub-$250 XT or XL on the ATI side, jump on it.

Or run screaming because you're getting taken for a ride

Thanks for the heads up on the x800 XL from Monarch. $250 out the door is a bargain I could not resist. I'll shall arrive here by Thursday.

Or wait until November and get an Xbox 360. Graphics cards are too expensive.

How come no one ever mentions the X700 .. did I buy a shitty card?

its a good car, just a little less then I wanted to spend. If my budget was $200, then the X700 would be in that class.
