X800XL vs X850 ... How do they bench?

[cm_uk]

Heard all this bout the X800XL aparently they are the x850 with a cheaper price?this cant be right obviously,so how do they bench against a x850 (all models...) and what differences are there between them? and why was the xl made? is it a budget 850?

cheers

16 pipes like the x850xt but slower memory & core clock speeds. It was made to compete with the 6800gt since the earlier x800pro wasn't quite up to the job.

The chip used on the X800XL is a different process as well. In the vast majority of cases they will not oc to X850 speeds.

x800XL, cheaper than the 6800gt and faster.

the x800 xl is looking like a pretty darn good performer for the money ATM. I'll be buying one pretty soon. and I don't just buy any old cr@p
