There is no difference between one xfx 6800gt and another. There is however a difference between the different models eg 6800 6800gt 6800ultra.

Can you please post your PC specifications including the wattage of your power supply unit (PSU).

I have one of these card and they're brilliant. The noise was a bit annoying at first coming from a silent VGA cooled 9800pro, but otherwise they're good cards.

Your other specs are fine, but thats the measure of the input of your PSU. The actual wattage of the PSU should be written on the side of the PSU itself whcih you can only see by opening up your pc.

Can anyone confirm this to be sure please. For a GT its advisable to have a 350W+ PSU.

I've also heard that the new nvidia cards reguire a bit of power, so a 350-450 watt powersupply is recommended.
