I just can't make my mind up. Nvidia Geforce 6800 Ultra (the XFX version) or the X800 XT-PE Card (sapphire).
Help...

Very much swings and roundabouts. i'd say X800, because i'm an ati whore.

Personally, I'd say ATi.
Look up some benchmark tests on the net, and match the games they test with each card.

Between 6800 Ultra and X800XT-PE, the ATi is faster, but I believe it's also a lot more expensive. As long as they're close in price, get the ATi. If not, the GeForce is probably a better buy.
One thing you might look at is an X800GTO, as it's basically the same as an XT but much cheaper.

I voted 6800 cos I have Nvidia,
Plus: the Nvidia card does Pixel Shader 3 and DX9.0c, the ATI does not.

yeah but that's not as important as nvidia would have you think.

6800 is the better value buy right now, but I expect new X1000 cards will push the X800's price down to a competitive level.
