Here is my take here is a link to on the 8200

Depends what you plan to do with the card, the "deluxe" version of the 8200 you quoted has some extra features the 8200 pure does not but they are in terms the same card technically.

The deluxe gives you the funky 3D glasses, added video in and out for video captuer and video editing, plus TV out. If editing and capture is important to you then this is a very good card along the G3 line. If you will not use the capture and editing features you can also get this same card in the "Pure " version , no glasses or video in /out.

Find out which of the 2 cards Asus or Leadtek uses the better quality ddr ram and the speed of the ram cause this will help you to overclock the card better later down the line if you choose squeezing everything you can get out of these expensive cards.

IMHO ATI All In Wonder 32 DDR Radeon has the best multi media card but it is not as strong in the gaming area but its okay, but it is a very very good card plus it has TV in to it so you can watch cable on your pc. When the Radeon 8500 DV (or whatever they call it) comes out it will be the card once the driver issue is settled for multimedia and 3D gaming enthusiats for sure!!!

I owned afirst generation Asus Geforce V6800 32 DDR Deluxe. It had the glasses which were fun to try out in 3d gaming and it had a great software bundle plus the vivo and capture features. These features were great and I liked the card buit I switched to ATI radeon 64 DDR vivo for better 2 d video and 3d clarity/quality cause it is a fact that the Geforce line suffers from fuzzy 2 d , you can tell bigtime when you have owned both brands of cards.

I give the edge to the G line for speed in 3 d gaming but for appearance and 2 d sharpness & 3 D clarity , dvd playback the ATI cards rule.

Hope this lenghty feedback helps you out.

Thnx for the information Cisco Kid, that cleares up a lot of things :)! I will look at all these options and decide for what kind of things i use the card ( Mostly 3D GAMING!!, RTC Wolfenstein rules, lol :D) and then decide what card I would buy :D
