At present I am using a 6800 ultra,at 1280x1024 with no aa or
af,framerates in the 50s dropping to the low 30s with lots of trees.
Is the X800xt better than that?

I hear the game has some issues with the ATI cards, especially with
the drivers, so putting your hope in a switch to an ATI card may be in
vain. You could also be CPU-limited, in which case any gfxcard
wouldn't help.
Then again I don't have either of those cards, and I don't know what
CPU you've got so don't take my word for it.
I use a ATI x800pro, at 1280x1024 with 4x AA and 8x AF, and it is
smooooooth..
I haven't got any problems at all with the drivers. I run a Abit NF7 board

I agree with the comment on the CPU if that isn't up to it it's going to
cause problems in performance.

Turn off AA and AF and run the game in 1600x1200 - it will look better, run
faster and you won't have any black lines on the road.

unless you're stuck with an LCD :-\

Which I am, but I wouldn't say stuck with, it's fantastic. The prolem
at 1600*1200 is the DVI interface which apparently is at it's limit.
60fps wil do me anyway.
