Summary
The question everyone has been asking is which graphics card is the best, the Nvidia 6800 Ultra or the ATI X800 XT. There is no real answer to this. The differences in performance between the two chips are so small that it is rarely noticeable by the average gamer, but Nvidia appears to hold a slight lead. If you have a beefy power supply that puts out more than 480-watts of power, go with the MSI NX6800 Ultra which is based on the Nvidia 6800 chip. But if you are a loyal ATI fan or you are worried about not having enough power to run the Nvidia based card, then the MSI RX800 is the card for you. Either way, you will not be disappointed by what you get.
If you are a die-hard gamer and prefer to stick with the PCI-Express based motherboards, you might want to consider getting two Nvidia 6800 Ultra cards and running them in SLI-mode via Asus's A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard. While the cost of two video cards and a dual PCI-Express motherboard is expensive, the reward means frame rates that are nearly double what any single ATI or Nvidia card can produce.
Once again MSI has gone over-the-top and provided a product that has exceeded our expectations. The RX800 is an incredible video card and one that should last for quite some time. The software package included with the RX800 is second-to-none and simply the best on the market. You will not be disappointed spending the premium price for this PCI-Express video card.
