Ah well.
lol time to defend our purchases with all our might. That card is poop compared to my ati.
? has this taken the gfx wars to a new level ? ATI/AGP v NVIDIA v ATI/PCI,EXPRESS
Well, I defended mine with common sense, but feel free to defend yours with whatever you like. :D
putting 512meg of memory would have helped sell it?
That would be the only thing wanting to upgrade from my xt pe.
That picture is an artists impression surely, just like the x800xt pe pictures :p
ATi have said that this isn't aimed at X800XT-PE users; its not really an upgrade, as it runs a few % faster, and as I said, if your current X800XT overclocks well, you could end up with a slower card if the X850 didn't overclock as well.
Its aimed at people still looking to upgrade, who couldn't get an X800XT-PE, because they were tricky to get hold of.
saw one at the weekend :PQuote:

Seriously it's only outdated when it doesn't do what you want, EVERYTHING in PC land is outdated by the time you can buy one, something bigger faster better is always just about to be released.
ok i ammend my statement it will be 2 and 1/2 months b4 u can get hold of 1 for personal use out of a commercial context
The X800XTPE seem likes just the PCI-E versions of the x800 series with a bit of a performance increase. There is no X800XTPE using PCI-E so I would say this card is natural for the new card interface format.
I for one am happy with my card and wouldn't give it up, considering how dam rare the PE is now :D
