Out of those four, it's easily between the X850 and the 6800GS.

I'd go with the 6800GS. Both will perform speed wise about the same, but the 6800GS will have some advanced gfx features for better image quality.

Personally I'd got for the X850 because it owns the 6800 in most benchmarks and tests on various games. Its also a newer card. If you get the X850 you won't go wrong, but then again, the cards are very similar tbh.

Never buy from Savastore or Watford Electronics!!!
