- I upgraded to a LeadTek 6600GT for Guild Wars (had a 5600 earlier). Silent fan, great performance for the cost -- frame rate never really drops below ~40 fps anymore, and usually stays around more like 60-70. Great value for money in this chipset. Of course, that doesn't tell much of my system otherwise, but just compare to my GF 5600 FX at 14-25 fps with everything else otherwise the same...

- From the benchies in the referenced article, it looks like the X800 XL might be the way to go at a higher res with AA & AF enabled.
Then again alot also comes down to personal preference, for example I just like Nvidia drivers so much better than ATi's (yes I have owned both at the same time), their overall what is in my opinion just better reliability with games overall, so I personally go Nvidia for my own use.
Still, looking at those benchies, it looks like the X800 XL pulls ahead when higher graphical settings are used.
