I've been kind of out of the video card loop since I got my 800 XL in Jan of this year. I am looking to upgrade and was curious which card is faster, the 7800 GT or the 6800 Ultra?

Thanks
 
I figured it would be quicker but I wasn't sure if the 7800 GT was the "low end" of the 7800 line which would make it = to the last gen high end. Ok, guess I'll do the 7800 GT.

I think the 7800 GT is easily the best buy this generation. Replaced my X800XTPE with one.

Excellent I was looking for someone who previously owned an X800XT PE.

I ordered a 7800GT, which should arrive in few days and I was wondering if I will see any difference on IQ/Performance coming from the X800XT PE.

Could you please describe a little bit what difference do you see? It has been long since I owned my last Nvidia card (GForce 3) after that I was on the Radeon side but this year I had the chance to migrate to PCI-E and was convinced the 7800GT was the best bang for the money hands down.

Well consideing the 7800GT compeats with the X1800 cards pretty good. I would say the 7800GT is a good deal faster than a X800.
 
Actually it seems the "low-end" card of Nvidia's current line will be the 7800gs.

Correct, but AFAIK the GS is not out yet in the 7800 form just the 6800
 
After using GeForce cards for years...2's through 4's I ran ATI for 3 years. 9700 Pro through X800XT PE.

I must say that finally Nvidia has the image quality down. Their AA is good even at 2x as ATI's has been for years. A 7800 GT is certainly an upgrade over the X800 cards.

Keep in mind my card is a CO clocked at 470/1200.
