ASUS includes a monster bundle with their EN6800GT card. You get all of the hardware you need to run the video card in virtually every possible situation, and a Webcam to boot. Software wise the bundle includes a pretty decent game in Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising and a series of utilities and software to enhance the experience. Performance-wise, the ASUS EN6800GT is slightly faster than other 6800GT cards, but not decisively so.

If you're looking for the highest performing video card setup on the market today, a SLI system is the way to go. Two 6800GTs provide higher performance than a single 6800 Ultra or a X850XT PE. The EN6800GT costs around $410 on Pricewatch, higher than other 6800GTs on the market. ASUS's bundle, and high quality, makes this an easy card to recommend. It's likely we'll see new video cards from ATI and NVIDIA shortly, but you can always wait. Something better is always coming in the computer world.
