    Yes, it's a good card, better than most 6800Xts, since it's got 256MB of GDDR3 Ram instead of the usual 128mb of DDR. But I'd spend the extra cash and get the 6800GS, it's got 12 Pixel pipelines instead of the 8 on the XT, and the AGP version can unlock to 16 pipelines (effectivley a 6800GT), and the PCI-e version overclocks like crazy.

    Try getting a different manufacturer if you can. XFX is known to be a bit crappy.

    XFX is one of the best video card manufacturers out there. There's nothing crappy about them.
