For those looking to upgrade their video card, the NX6800 should be at the top of your list. If money is no object and you would prefer the top-of-the-line 6800 Ultra video card, we recommend you still stay with the MSI brand. MSI has taken a regular video card and presented it in such a way that you feel like you are getting a complete gaming system. The NX6800 is a solid performing card for its price range, but when you add in the amount of software and the quality of the board itself, the NX6800 stands apart from the crowd.

If you have a Radeon 9800 PRO or XT then we do not recommend upgrading to the NX6800 or any other 6800 based video card. Your best performance gain will be seen when stepping up to the 6800 Ultra video cards or the ATI X800 line. However, if you have a 5700, Radeon 9600 or slower video card, then you should see a significant increase in your gaming performance when upgrading to the NX6800.
