As I run multiple PC's I have an Asus V9900 FX5800 Ultra, Asus V9999 FX 6800 Ultra and Asus 9800XT. Personally I have always been a Nvidia supporter even though I didn't care too much for comparing. Both companies have their strong and weak points and where one may lack the other wins.
Anyway I find the V9999 faster than the 9800XT especially at 1600x1200 but regardless of both cards processing power, my main card is the V9900. I never play higher than 1024x768 at 32 bit with full AA and AF and I find that this card does it for me perfectly. Want to see how much it can really do? Just ask and I'll post some pics of it running Far Cry. I can post the same Picture with the other cards too and I can guarantee that you will find little to no difference in them at all. FPS rate certainly is higher with the other cards but the V9900 plays the game smoothly all the way through. Kind of a waste having the other cards really but I'm just a sucker for technology.
Considering I know you want a new card but cant decide Memnoch. You can get yourself an MSI FX5900 for about $320 here. That clocks around 5,200 on 3DMark which is 400 more than my FX5800. My 9800XT doesn't pull more than 5,800 so considering the price I wouldn't go for anything less unless you REALLY don't want to spend that much.
btw if you decide to go for something like this and can't find it within the above price range just let me know and I can get them here. I buy so many damn video cards and components every year that they love me at the computer store *L*
