I'd like to hear peoples experiences with their X800XL cards.

I'm looking at the Powercooler and the Rosewill X800XL's .. mostly becasue
they are the least expensive of the X800XL cards. The reviews I've seen of
these cards are good, but I've never owned these brands before.

Are these cards worth getting, as X800XL's they are already mondo expensive.

This is for a computer that has to be able to run the latest games in flying
fashion.
The X800 PT is too much $ .. so are the NVidia 6800 family.

I was considering a regular X800 but they are not that less expensive than
an X800XL and the 6600GT maybe good for a lot of games but not sure they
will cut the mustard in the games coming out in the enar future.


Thanks

I have the Rosewill and it's a great card.I would recomend it! Been running
it about a month and no problems. Playing Doom3 right now and the X800XL
runs it nice and smooth on high quality @ 1280x1024 w/8x AA!
