seeing as he wants one for less than $300 (im assuming) the jump to the 7800GT is quite a price jump. Plus, hes from Finland, and newegg dont shiop internationally

Wow, I'd would definitaly say x800xt. Im running x800pro, and not regreting it. comes w/ sweet O'c program - Redline. with this baby, and my 3.0E prescott, im running <60 fps in DooM3 nearly always, on ultra, w/ full AA, 1024*768. You wont find a x800xt for under $300 tho, so if your real strict on that budget of yours, I'd say BFG tech 6800GT, just make sure its 256MB Still, I'd even go w/ x800 rather than 6800GT.
