ther is nothing really next gen about the x800 except for the pci express which is pointless because it offers no better performance.
the 6800 on the other hand offers new pixel shader 3.0 support.
so if ur gonna get something "next gen" get atleast the 6800. it gets betetr performance in doom3 (atm, future drivers for ati cards may change that) anyway.
edit: i say go for 9800pro or whatever u have now if it is anything more than a 9600. ;)
Yes, NVIDIA's 6800-based offerings introduce DirectX 9.0c optimisation, and namely provision of Shader Model 3,
