not really worth it tbh, but if you must then the x850 is a more gutsy card, its sheer power just man handles the 6800gt, BUT youll no doubt get people telling you to keep the 6800 for the advantage of having SM.3 support. if you dont mind skipping this feature, as the ATI card doesnt support it

Stick with what you have. Theres no point spending money on such an incremental upgrade as that. Wait until you can afford something more along the lines of a 7800gt or whatever the equiv' is at the time.

ye, and if your 6800gt is agp, you'll get a lot more than £100 on an auction site aswell. But like said above, if you are paying for than £30 ontop of your sale funds, its not worth it.
