If I wait long enough, will it drop to $200cdn ?
( Might be worth a drive to the border then )

You must have a very good reason indeed for dumping the card.
Smoke, flames, doesn't bring you your breakfast tea ? Please tell.

Seems just a little early to dump it, since both Ati X800 and
nVidia 6800 prices will be falling steeply over the next few
months, so if you want to swap to Ati X800 later, you will
probably not lose financial ground.

You do know that the 6800 driver versions are still all beta
and still not part of the universal Detonator releases ? And Ati
is having fun and games with really lousy QC on their latest
drivers. Echoes of a couple of years ago. For example,
see the threads on Thief3.

I suspect he got a 'dud', aka poor overclocker, since he won't give any
performance numbers.

no it overclock well at 400mhz 1100mhz

but problem with refresh rate and poor Far Cry performance...

I prefer ATI

Upgrade your CPU ( when you can ) !!!. The higher levels of AI,
the floating-point operations with binoculars on, and several other
internal game-engine activities can drastically drive the frame rate
down due to CPU loading. Verify CPU loading by periodically
checking your CPU ( not GPU ! ) temperature while the game
is running. Use AIDA or similar running on desktop to monitor
CPU sensor temp before starting Far Cry and then Alt-Tab in
and out of the game to instantaneously view the CPU temp.

I have a P4 running at 3.35GHz and the CPU temperature
measurements on Far Cry were very revealing.

You seem to be throwing the baby out with the bathwater, but you
obviously have a great deal of money anyway if you decided to
buy either a 6800GT or X800 XT PE at this time.

Its Summertime in Canada where it is short enough that it is a pity
to miss a great time outdoors and forget video cards until Fall
when many driver issues ( both Ati and nVidia ) will be resolved
and prices of the high-end video cards are likely to be far more
reasonable..

I prefer ATI


OK, I believe that Canada is a fairly free country. Then why
did you buy the 6800GT in the first place ? Hopefully you will be
happy with your alternate purchase and won't be wailing about
lack of DX9.0c hardware features in a few months time.
