    6800 upgrade

     
    I have been using two XFX 6800 XT cards with SLi for the past several years.
    Recently one of them crapped out and now I am wondering what I should get if I were to upgrade.
    I would like to stay under the $100 range...

    In the $100 dollar range, you have
    8800gt/9800gt/9800gtx/gts 250 (sometimes)
    or
    ati 4850, 4770, 4670

    The 4850 and the 9800gtx would be the best bang for buck cards.

    what are the rest of your specs? They may limit those cards, which are all many many times faster than your SLI.

    I'd go for a 4830.
