XFX Geforce 6800 GT

If you can't afford the top-of-the-range Gigabyte NX78X256V-B you'd be wise to consider a card based on the 6800 GT chipset. This is a cut-down version of the previous king of the nVidia hill, the 6800 Ultra. 

This particular model, from gaming specialists XFX, uses a PCI Express connector, has 256MB of Ram and is otherwise configured according to the standard nVidia reference specification.

As a result, its solid 3Dmark05 score of 5,148 was in line with our expectations.

XFX has included a fairly decent games bundle in the box consisting of X2: The Threat, Commandos 3, and Moto GP.

On the whole, this is a very good graphics card that most gamers should find adequate for modern 3D titles.
