I don't know which to get. I need an upgrade badly, and I've pretty much narrowed down my choices to this nVidia and this ATi (respectively). I'm looking for a detailed web review comparing the two, but so far have had no luck finding one. A link would be great… but also, which one would you guys choose, and why? TIA.

Nothing like the smell of old video cards in the morning… AFAIK, the 6800 Ultra is known to eat more power and heat up much more quickly then the XT… This may or may not be an issue for you, but sill, a thing to consider. Are you going to be OCing whichever of these two you get? If yes, their potentials are pretty evenly matched in that respect. If no, I'd go for the AIW X800XT instead, whose main deficiency was problematic OC options.
