I would look into the 6800GT. It is a bit more expensive than the X800XL, but it usually wins in benchmarks, has HDR support as well as SM3.0 support.

Wait a minute, the X800 line doesn't have High Dynamic Range support? Even my 6600GT has that.

Correct me if i'am wrong, but i thought support for shaders 3.0 only made the calculations faster by adding a few tricks into the chip. However, i thought it was possible to achieve the same level of quality with lower grade shaders, like lets say 2.0b, but at the cost of speed. Am i totally beside the track?

Dual 6600GT will indeed give you better performance IN SLI CAPABLE games to approx a single 6800GT level, but it's just not worth the hassle.

"Bloom" doesn't work with ATi cards?

I dont know what the Ati cards bench @ but heres some per myself on the 6600Gt Sli.
My rig:
Vantec 470w 24Pin
CBBFD 0440 Winnie 3000+ @ 2.477
Asus A8N-E Deluxe
Corsair TwinX-3200XLPro TCCD 2x512
Asus EN6600Gt SLi / Stock Cooling No OC
2x36Gb Raptors
77.72 Drivers
3dMark01se: 21673
3dMark05: 6478
I just got this together, flipped the HTT up a bit and ran some benchies
Im pretty sure that the 6800Gt is getting around 5000 in 05, so thats not bad if you ask me. Again, this is stock cooling and no Vcard OC

You'd be surprised. Some people remain junkies.
