Hey all dealers
Leadtek® nVidia GeForce 6800 AGP8x 128MB 256 Bit (2.2ns) DDR / TV-Out + DVI + Hardware Monitor / Direct X 9.0c + OpenGL for R2499
Can anyone better or beat that?
Also I will need new PSU, bout 450W I reckon

Hunter remember that the 6800 only has half the pipelines... so performance isn't great
As for PSU go for a Antec or a ThermalTake 480W or so

The 6800 has 12 pixel pipelines compared to the 16 of the GT/Ultra, so it's definitely not half. And performance not great? The 6800 thrashes everything in its price bracket, which currently includes the 9800XT (no new generation competition from ATI as yet, still awaiting the X800SE) and the FX5950. For a better performing card you have to go up more than a grand and a half (X800Pro/6800 GT).
@monster
The X800Pro is over R4000, while the 6800NU is almost half of that, so I doubt hunter would've asked a better price on a 6800 if he could afford an X800Pro.
Hunter,
Buy that card, if someone can get it for you cheaper, great.
