The 6800 Ultra beats the X800 Pro but does not beat the XT Version in which the ATI won almost all the benchmarks, but if your looking at a mainstream lineup definatly get the radeon, the 9600 is better then the 5200 i have an 5200 and i dislike it. I dislike it even more because I have a 9800 Pro 256 MB sitting right next to me in the box mocking me
