Depends. What kinda ATi card are you running right now? Call me biased, but I don't have quite as cherry a view to NVIDIA after they bought out 3DFX and released those horrible FX cards. :D The Mislabeling of their GeForce 4MX didn't really help either, ha ha. Do you have a PCI-E slot? 2 of 'em? :D Ha ha, because they you can buy 2 6800s and link em together, mu ha ha.

Impressive. :O Anyways, shame that your 9600 is giving you trouble. Me thinks you can softmod it up to a 9700 for a little more fun. :D

Whoa, dont get a new video card just yet.
Wait untill a few weeks after doom 3 is released.
Nvidia and Radeon are apparently going to have a price war, they are going to be competing pretty heavily over the next few months.
There should be a price drop in video cards in about a month, or sooner.

What is your budget for your video card?
The 6800 is pretty expensive...
