New Graphics Card

I am possibly looking for a new graphics card to replace my Saphire 9800.

I don't want to go with the ATI line this time, what is a good card to buy?

-Use - Mostly for gaming.
-Budget - $300.00
-Misc. - Other components of my rig are in my sig.

I was looking at the Geforce 6800 on newegg for under $300.00 but i don't know how good this card is and what manufacturer is the best to buy from.

T.I.A.

I had considered the vanilla 6800 to replace my 9800pro as well.

there simply isnt enough of a difference though. you'll see a nice difference with a 6800gt.

i've seen deals from outpost as low as 350 too. I know that's overbudget, but I think you'd be wasting your money on a vanilla 6800

get more memory instead.

I love the difference in gaming that a gig gives me vs 512meg.

Definetly go for the extra memory, maybe another 512? And then save the rest of your budget for later when the video cards become a little lower in price....
