You are in the UK yes? Get the XFX 6800 from here (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/GeForce_6800.html), it's much better.

Frozen is right, 6800s eat 9800s for breakfast, besides, I would never buy a 9800XT, that card is insanely overpriced, in any case I would go for the 256MBs 9800Pro, all of them come with R360 core and XT PCB and RAM, which means having a 9800XT for $80-100 less :D

I think at this point in the game a 9800xt is a dumb purchase. It just does't quite have the performance/$ that other cards have.

No it doesn't, it costs less. The prices are in UK pounds, and my link shows that the price of the XFX 6800 is clearly less than that 9800XT.

If you have received the card it's not too late to change it. Under the distance selling regulations you are allowed to return an item within 7 days of receipt without reason. It only applies if the item is in new condition. The 6800 would have been better purchase, although avoid ocuk like the plague get it somewhere else even if its more expensive.
