In our opinion, it’s the card to get at the $250 price point. ATI’s RADEON X800 XL delivers competitive performance thanks to its 16-pixel pipeline architecture, but with the lack of shader model 3.0 support, its shelf-life could be short-lived. With ATI introducing top-to-bottom SM3.0 hardware just recently game developers may have little incentive to include a custom 2.0b path for X700/X800-series hardware. Therefore, if you’re going to spend the money, you’d be better off with SM3.0 hardware.

The new XFX GeForce 6800 GS 256 MB is priced at Rs 20,990/- (MRP) and will be available through Rashi Peripherals and its 38 Branches all over the country in this week. Rashi provides a 3-year warranty on all XFX graphic cards.
