According to that, the X800XT does outperform the 6800GT by about 5fps in most games, the 6800GT only beats the X800XT in a few games. You do see about a 8fps difference in HL2, mainly because the engine is customized to run better with ATi cards.

But then that is all at stock speeds, from what I've mainly heard, the 6800GT can hit Ultra speeds and higher. In PCI-E, the X800XT would be able to flash to XTPE and clock to those speeds, not too sure how AGP is like though.

I'd say considering how close both cards perform, it's up to you on which one you'd like.

I have the eVGA 6800GT AGP and it runs most games really well. At stock speeds it can do HL2 at max with 2xAA at 100fps, and does BF2 with all high settings with one or two medium settings.

for $300 you might as well get the 7800gt which outperforms both of those
