Yep for about the same performance as a 6800GT that is incredible!
Here are some benchmarks and a whole review for you.

What a BS test.
Its a previos gen High End card vs a Mid range current gen.
Its the same as a x850xt pe vs a 7600

Yeah but what are their prices ;)
And they do compare it to the X800XL (A high end card). The 6800GS is priced as a mid range card so it is a fair comparison.
Me senses an angry ATI fan.
Sorry guy but you complain because Nvidia have introduced an awesome card at an awesome price and it is a newer gen than the 6800GT.
The 6800GS is cheap card with great performance. It costs less than a X800XL and performs just as good and better in some tests.
Dont complain to us, complain to ATI for not having a card to compete.
I am thinking of selling my 6800GT and buying 2 6800GS's.

I just took a look at the driverheaven link and it seems off. I think I am going to trust Xbitlabs on this one.
The 6800GS gives the same performance as a 6800GT for a fraction of the price!
I want 2 :D

$249 or roughly R1600. But they will likely be found for less.
I think for that price nothing comes close.
Even you being an ATI fan would have to agree. I actually hope ATI brings out something similar to drive the price down even further.

Angellus maybe the 7800GT prices will drop even further with the release of the 512mb series sometime this month?
Yummy

In fact:
XFX 6800gs XXX (factory overclocked from 425/1000 to 485/1100) $219 shipped(of course for anyone in the US ;) :( ),
comes to the equivalent of: 1,477.15 ZAR, including a copy of Farcry!
