Do anyone of you guys know if there is about to be a price drop on the Leadtek 6800 GT?
Apperantly the place I'm gonna buy it from has a very cheap price (but none in stock) and a seller in another store speculated that they may have gotten info about a big price drop of these cards.
Does anyone know anything?

Newer 6800s are based on nv41 which is cheaper than nv40 , so its cheaper :-)

I haven't seen a 6800 pci around and my motherboard dosen't support them anyway so it's AGP...

Im not sure but i doubt nv41 is pci e only , agp price drop might be phenomenal (not too sure , will confirm later ) .

A X800!? A pretty impressive card, in the same class as GeForce's 6800GT and Ultra. In some games ATI is better, in others Nvidia

Im also slightly inclined towards ati , but i cant tell nVIDIA is bad. Cant wait to see "fudo" aka r520 with multi gpu and sm 3 (and obviously they Shift to 32bit fpp) . I hope nVIDIA will have something for competition then.

I can confirm that I heard about the Xbox 2 thing.
I am deciding whether to get a 17" genertic TFT (75hz, 1280*1024, 16ms etc) or an Nvidia 6800... But I'd have to get a new motherboard and PSU etc to get the 6800, so I think I'll get the monitor. The one I'm using now is huge, but only 16" viewable area.

Erm Nick, you could run a 6800 on your motherboard, At least I'm presuming it has 4x AGP support.

Yeah I know, (I have AGP 8x), but I'd want to use it to it's best ability. As in, I'd not want to waste any of the 6800's capabilities. Buying an AGP model would just be silly, seeing as PCI-E is the new standard.
Besides, I've wanted a better monitor for a LONG time now!!!
