can't make up mind - 6800gt or x800pro?

what do you guys think, should i get a 6800gt or an x800pro? this is a major upgrade for me, i have a dim8300 and don't want to have to make any other modifications to it. i don't plan on upgrading the video card again for this pc so i want the card that has the best hope for the future. thanks for the help.

    the 6800GT is the better value, it has better performance than the X800Pro by a bit and has a couple extra features, and is a good price

    just make sure it isn't the GTO

    kebabmaker, just FYI I just put a BFG 6800oc in my 8300 and I love it. I did replace the 250 watt ps with a 425 watt from pcpower&cooling just to be safe. Too many different opinions on Dell's rating system. Also added 512 mb of ram for a total of 1024. All my games are running smooth and had absolutely no prblems with the installation at all. In all the threads I've read all the problems po
    pping up seem to be with ATI cards. Good Luck,rbizzoman.
     
    PS since the GT is more powerfull than my oc you may have to change your ps.
