I was using a Ti4600, 9800 Pro and FX5900 just prior to getting the 
6800-128.  My eVGA 6800 is a 'vanilla' card.  12p, 5v pipes, 128 megs 
DDR 256bit memory.  The pipes did not unlock.   And it wouldn't run 
Doom3 in absolute max details and res on my rig.  So I bought a 
eVGA6800GT.  And it DOES do all that in Doom3.  While the 6800 gets 
pretty much all the eye candy, the 6800GT runs away with it :)  Those 
who CAN unlock the pipes and OC the 6800 are fortunate.
