X850

[halflifeguy]

Does anybody know when ATI is going to release the X850?
I've seen pics and specs on it and it sounds amazing and will blow the 6800 out of the water.
Also posted an info link.

They have been out for a pretty long time. I think about 3 weeks to a month.

hmmm... where have i seen that phrase before... maybe at another recent card launch...

i have heard tho that there is really no difference between the x800xtpe and the x850xtpe besides core speeds, though i have hear the x800xl does beat the 6800gt in some things and is cheaper, i may be wrong

your right... they didnt release the X850 to beat the X800 XT though... it was more so they could have it on PCI-E... and actually be available unlike the incredibly hard to find X800 XTPE

its still really hard to get most ddr3 256mb cards in NZ, what's it like in the states- pretty easy? Im getting screwed around waiting for an RMA on my 6800gt- its taken like over a month.
