404787	2005-11-16 22:39:00	I have been reading that the x850 is no faster than the x800. X850 is slightly faster but not by much in terms of MHZ X800XT PE - Engine clock - 520, Memory clock - 540 Radeon X800 Technology Specifications  160 million transistors on 0.13 micron low-k fabrication process  Up to sixteen extreme parallel pixel pipelines  Six programmable vertex shader pipelines  256-bit quad-channel GDDR3 memory interface  AGP 8X support or PCI Express ™ support X850XT PE - Engine clock - 540, Memory clock – 590 Radeon X850 Technology Specifications  Over 160 million transistors  Up to sixteen parallel pixel pipelines  Six parallel vertex processing engines  256-bit quad-channel GDDR3 memory interface  PCI Express® x16 lane native support Small differences in clock speeds, but I think it's the transisor count and parallel vertex engines that give the X850 the edge.

404788	2005-11-16 23:01:00	In the benchmarks which card wins... Is it the X800XT PE Is it the X850XT PE Is it the X800XL Or is it the 7800GT that wins the benchmarks out of those cards listed. Just wondering thats all... :D	memphis (2869)
404789	2005-11-17 01:00:00	I would be happy with any of them. Hell, Im still happy with my 6600GT. As my GF2/200 plugs on I dream of a 6600GT even a Ti4200 or a GF3 for that matter :D Pete	Organicpete (133)
404790	2005-11-19 02:14:00	thanks for the help on tht so is it worth the extra money for the x850 xt over the x800 xl? i think thts my choice now	LOWTEC (7821)
404791	2005-11-19 04:50:00	7800GT for like $650-$750 its from the nvidia 7000 series, which is nvidias latest and greatest the x850 is ATIs last generation(X000) and is compariable to nvidias 6000 series. if you want ati youd be best gettign somethign from teh X1000 series. the highend parts of last generation will high priced for quite some time to come, a quick look on price spy shows that the Nvidia GeForce FX 5950 is still at $707.63, its 2 generations old and would be on par with a low end X1000 series card such as teh X1300, and lowend 7000 series card ( when such cards are released). currently on the nvidia side the 7800GT is the sweet spot, its cheaper than the high end cards of last generation, while being a fair chunk faster, the 7800GTX is just to pricey to offer that. price does not always dictate quality. just my 2c	Mirddes (10)
404792	2005-11-19 05:46:00	sorry prolly should of stated that - amd 3500+, 2gb ram, gigabyte K8 PCI-E mobo, 450w thermaltake psu... think thts all? Like getting blood out of stone here once more. Budget is $700. Is that US$ NZ$ AU$ or what? I think they even use $ in Malaya. Where are you? Nothing in your profile tells me.	Elephant (599)
404793	2005-11-19 05:56:00	Today on www . pricespy . co . nz a 7800Gt 256mb DDR3 VIVO PCI E card for NZ $596 . 24 :D Do a google on the 7800GT everyone is talking about how good it is . Nvidia have got a 512mb 7800gt card out now you might want to wait for that and see what price that is . Run in SLI 2 x 7800GT 512mb DDR3 VIVO PCI E cards,=1024mb=1gb of video card memory . :eek: Times are good indeed . :D Question: You know why cards are going to 512mb DDR3? Answer: Yeah to run Windows Vesta (Longhorn)!!!!	memphis (2869)
404794	2005-11-20 00:46:00	Like getting blood out of stone here once more. Budget is $700. Is that US$ NZ$ AU$ or what? I think they even use $ in Malaya. Where are you?
