Royal: The XFX 6800GS XXX edition is not bad at all. Let me give you some examples. On stock speeds, I got over 11900 in 3dmark03 and 5500 in 3d mark05. Check my sig for my machine config now. Now the score has moved upto 12600 and 5800 (approx) respectively. Have not tested in 3d mark 06 though.
Also now, Doom3 posted ~ 85 fps with ultra (yes, ULTRA quality, enabling it in settings gives you a warning that the system needs at least 512MB in textures) quality 2X AA/2X AF and 72 fps with 4X AA/4X AF. This is the result of the default timedemo. In FEAR, with all settings turned to medium I also got around 80fps on average, maximum being 170fps. FEAR's default benchmarking tool gives option of seeing the minimum and maximum fps, as you might be knowing. Also I had 0% under 20fps. If you own FEAR, you will know what I mean. BTW, all benchmark tests were taken at 1024 X 768. I have also used the latest nforce4 ultra drivers from Asus and Nvidia forceware 84.21. Half life-2 posted 99fps in canals test with all settings turned up (I have used the custom benchmarking tool provided by guru3d.com). I did not have the opportunity also to test Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I have heard that it stresses the system like FEAR, maybe more. Maybe deathvirus_me may give some opinions regarding this.
But most websites have stated that 7600GT is better than 6800GS. So if you get it, you will get better results than me, otherwise you can get 6800GS. I got it from Savera Marketing Agency (distributors of Rashi Peripherals) last february for Rs.14100 plus VAT. Address is 1, Ganesh Chandra Avenue.
Let us know your final decision.
