6800 is running on directx 9.0b 6 series flagship - shader 3
7300gt directx 9.0c 7 series low end- shader 3 - highly overclockable...
x1600 - to replace x700 ... mid end ... 9.0c directx shader 3
x800 - direct x 9.0b but comes with the fastest core
i believe ATI avivo is different from vivo
those with avivo doesnt mean that is having VIVO...
VIVO is basically video in and out ...
vivo card usually comes with special cable:
either special svideo cable with 4 ends.... composite X2 in/out
RGB X2 in/out
or some sorta module box containing similar wiring...
as far as i knoe of searching thru the net, sapphire doesnot produce VIVO card for x1600 and usually ati vivo exist in HIS card...
this guy over the net want to sell me a x1600pro saphhire with VIVO, im jus not sure whether he knoes what he means or not ..

I would suggest you buy the Nvidia 6800.
It will be faster than the 7300GT.
The X1600 is a bad VPU chip I believe. I had bought one in AGP trim, and it would show artifacts in my games and in windows , and this is while it was NOT overclocked. So I exchanged it for the same card but from a completely different store. And the results were the same.
The X800 is old now and doesn't support pixel shader 3.0 like the 6800 does.
Wrong, The 6800 supports 9.0c, hence shader 3.0
And the X1600 should have VIVO since it supports AVIVO.

Get the Nvidia 7300GT since it's the newer card. The Nvidia 6800 is not a bad card but it's a generation behind the 7300. VIVO stand for video in/video out and yes the ATI x1600pro did have it.
