Those 256mb cards are not very good, better off with a decent 128mb card. It's not the size of memory that matters, you are looking at the wrong graphics engine.

Mainboard: Asus P5K-Premium, CPU=Intel E6850 @ x8x450fsb 3.6ghz, RAM: 4gb PC8500 Team Dark, Video: NV8800GT, HDD: 2x1Tb Samsung F3 RAID-0 + 1Tb F3, PSU: Antec 550 Basiq, OS: Win7x64, Display: 24" WS LCD

The X800-GT or a 6600GT is better value for money.

If the 6800 you described was a 6800GT, (the true high performance 256mb card) it would have been a good choice, but they are still rather expensive and are superceded by the 7800 series.

Any cheap card with 256mb of ram is bound to be a poor card. It takes very expensive ram (and not much of it) to make a great card.
