    Sapphire X800GTO2 or Powercolor X850XT?

    I am wanting to buy a new graphics card, I have decided to choose between the Sapphire X800GTO2 (apparently comes with the extra pipelines pre-unlocked so can definitey clock it to XT and maybe PE levels) at £135 or a Powercolor X850XT at £145.

    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Not worth the risk of buying a gto2 when there is so little price difference get the XT. I had one it was great!

    Thanks guys.

    I'm now wondering whether it's worth spending an extra £60 or £70 to get a 7800GT.

    Decisions, decisions......!!

    Well it's a fair bit extra, i wouldn't. 145quid is amazing or a X850XT.

    Go for the X850XT, my GTO² is flashed and overclocked to a X850XT and it's really very good. Spend the extra tenner and go for the real deal.
