would it be better to get 9800 aiw pro the beast or x800 xt , 6800gt ? im so confused
he works for a computer firm and they supply lots of firms so he is gonna get me one for £50 regardless of retail price, not stolen (he just wont get any commision on next deal , well not all commision)
remeber money is no object and must be available in uk

If money is no object, fund research into timetravel, and when you've cracked it, trick Michaelangelo into an infinitely recursive loop, and have him hand-paint ten billion pixels on your screen five thousand times per second.

Get an fx5200. Its the defintion of retina scorching pixel pushing prowess

I would go for the X800XT PE

[wazi]

Well in that case the x850xt it is then (if you can get one)

PCI-E or AGP?

[Dooms]

No i dont think you can get the x850's yet but im not that sure.

wow, can he buy me one?!

edit: ok beaten to replying and now been told u can get them in the UK so nevermind

[wazi]

i will have to build my self a beast around this , will have to give the kids my p4 2.8 , and spend spend spend

[Raggy]

It's only your civic duty! The x850xt seems to be the card of choice as already stated. Though, if you are planning on spending a little, you might want to look into going the SLi rout with two 6800 ultras, if you can get one (or both) for dirt, you have a real opportunity! Although There have been some issue’s raised about Nvidia’s ability to release proper SLi drives on time.

Shiato its a joke!

the fx5200 has less than admirable performance

x850xt would seem the best bet or an sli set up of course

How old you are you?

I think he's pullling your leg there, and even worse, you've been suckered in. You can't buy X800s or X850s for £50 even at wholesale or distributor prices. ATI don't even sell to OEMs at anything close to that price. Same with the 6800GT.

I can sell you some magic beans at that price though

[directhex]

one card? SLI 6800 Ultras. the watercooled Gainward ones.
