I was an ATi fan until this generation of cards. You just get more graphics horsepower per dollar with an Nvidia card this time around. They've taken care of the IQ problems and at the $400 bracket, the GT soundly beats the X800 Pro. The X800 XT is another matter. It's pretty close to the 6800 Ultra and can run DX9 games flawlessly. I don't really care about Doom 3, or any OpenGL based game for that matter, so if I had $500 to spend on a video card, I'd have to say you're right there. But the Bang for the Buck crown has to go to the GT (though Nvidia does pretty much dominate from there down as well - we'll have to see about the X700).
