Will be good to see real world avaliability of both this product and NVIDIA parts.
I am not sure what the channel looks like for either operation at the mo
good point...talk is cheap. What really occurs is more important. Either way...exciting huh?![]()

ATi's previous .11 micron part, the X300, frequently gets well over 500MHz on the weedy stock cooling.
Rich :¬)
Isn't the X800Pro a twelve pipeline card? What's the difference with this one?
Main Rig: LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D | AMD Opteron 165@2.65Ghz | 2GB TwinMoss DDR PC3200 | GeForce 8800GT 512MB | 2*500GB Seagate 7200.10 | Antec P182 case

Furton.NET Coming soon!
also isn't the x800xl meant to have 256mb of ram... That might make it awee bit better. If the roumors on pricing are true then these will compete with the 6600gt and 6800nu respectivly. And with 4 more pipes in each it is going to be happy day for those of us spending sensible money
It's cheaper, and it uses a new core built on .11 micron process technology.Originally Posted by Furton
For reference, there's a table on the first page of the Tech Report test with details:

Also clock speeds...
GPU line up in expected order of gooddess will be X800se
X800 (X800XL,X800pro,X850PRo) all similar X800xt X850xt/x800xtpe X850xt pe
Jeez, it's so damn confusing! They're only doing it for MORE money!!
Dammit, just make a 'Top Range' card, a 'Mid Range' card and a 'Low Range' card and stop giving them stupid names and numbers which represent nothing and could be in any particular order what-so-ever and replaced at any time to excite people into spending even more money!!
over. Sorry.
Allen i share ur opinion
hmm, im still gonna wait for the benchmarks to come out, i aint a fan boy of anything, more of a quality searcher and the fact remains, it is still going to be based on a GPU that supports Direct x 9b while the 6xxx supports 9c, ATi's next generation cards are gonna have to be something very special for me to change sides with Nvidia currently
amand tech has some benches i think but... these were pre-realese cards so not finalised
