    Finding a 9800xt in the UK ?

    Does anyone know any online retailers (or indeed on the high street) who are still offering Radeon 9800XT's ?!

    As a range they seem to have been dropped to make space between the 9800Pro and the X800...

    All help received with thanks !

    at £250+ for a 9800xt why not fork out the extra 30 quid and get an x800 card? only found one place with a 9800xt which is scan its out of stock though. Prolly better getting a x800 for a few quid more

    I find the XTs a waste of cash , seems a way better deal to just flash a pro to XT+ speeds or just buy the next gen for just a little more

    For the price premium over 9800 Pros, 9800XTs really don't seem worth it. 9800 Pros are a fair bit cheaper, and with barely any performance drop. The new generation mid range cards (e.g. 6600GT) are on par or better in virtually every test/game, and are roughly the same price as 9800 Pro/XT.

    £250?!?!? You could buy a 6800/X800 for that money!
