naah not good enough for what monk needs, my x800xl pcie only just reaches minimum standards.
the x850xtpe is the fastest card your going to get on agp and is going to last you quite a long time for rendering, the 6800gt is better in other areas especialy the price, but not rendering. Dont get me wrong though, the 6800 can still render really well, but compared to the x850 it lacks badly in core speed which is a big priority to you
Either one you get your going to be happy with so the choice is yours |

kk mmA getting a new one cos i talked to the rents about it and they are gonna help buy it.
however we decided on PowerColor ATI Radeon X850 XT PE 256MB on overclockers.co.uk but thats not £200 with vat lol its (£264.32 Including VAT which is a tad exspensive =/
Added after 5 minutes:
the most annoying thing are the cards seem to b so much cheaper on pci-e
Added after 29 minutes:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/6800_Series.html sounds good.
Highlights..
"This new 6800 GS model outperforms the 6800 GT"
"Performance is further boosted in this XT version as the clock speeds have been increased from the default 350MHz core and 1000MHz memory upto 400MHz core and 1100MHz memory making this the quickest 6800 GS card available on the market."
Price: £154.95 (£182.07 Including VAT at 17.5%) _________________

6800gt 350/500 (ddr is 1000) 16 pipes
6800gs 400/550 (ddr is 1100 16pipes
x850xtpe 560/590 (ddr is 1180) 16 pipes
since rendering is based on speed, its obvious which gfx card is better for you |

i got the 6800gt as most of you know... its not bad at rendering although in large scenes still takes its time when doing high quality animations.
I have it over clocked to the same as the GS though.
Cost me 330 new when it was released. _________________

lol plut, i got my x800pro around the same time you got that, cost me 300 squid too, ill never pay that for a gfx card again
oh one more thing to mention
if you go for either of these cards you are going to need to dump the qtec psu and go for some thing with solid rails and constant power output
Antec, tagan or any true power psu with a minimum of 400w |
