X-bit Labs reviews the PowerColor X800 GTO VIVO Graphics Card (about $200 US).
The ATI RADEON X800 GTO is generally faster - and much faster at times - than the NVIDIA GeForce 6800. Not a big surprise, actually, considering its higher clock rates and bigger amount of graphics memory. ... if you are choosing between a PowerColor X800 GTO VIVO and a GeForce 6800, the decision is obvious, and not in the favor of the GeForce. [X-bit Labs article]
It is interesting to note that the article mentions that the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GS ($249 US) "easily beats the RADEON X800 GTO, supports Shader Model 3.0 and HDR and overclocks well". If you are in the market for a new graphics card, you probably should spend the extra $49 for a GeForce 6800 GS.
