    Which is the better graphics card: The X800 XL, or the X850 Pro?

    OCUK is selling an X800XL for £156 (inc P&P)

    Scan sells the X850 Pro for £150 with free postage

    I'd rather go with the X850 pro so I can buy from scan, but which is the better card? I don't know much about the pro version of the X850.

    Cheers.

    I'd go for the X850Pro if I were you, or if you fancy flashing and overclocking, go for a GTO² as it's in the same price range.

    Ditto, the XL is actually quite a bit better.

    I was going off this review, plus his love for Scan.

    Edit: Just found this also on Scan.

    Edit #2: Read this and then make your decision, they're very similar.

    Well I'm loving my &#163;160 X850XT so I'd still recommend a GTO&#178;...
