Is X800 SE PCI-E = X800 GTO PCI-E?

[Leto_Atreides]

My X800 Pro AGP card died and I have now upgraded my motherboard to PCI-E X16, so I need a PCI-E card and I would like one that is close to the strength of my card that died. I'm not familiar with "GTO," is that the same as "SE," or is it better than Pro?

SE<GTO<Pro

Avoid "SE" models, as they are usualy crippled (Smaller memory bus, less pipelines, etc.) by ATi to compete in the low-end market. The GTO should come out well above the SE, and just a little bit below the Pro.

If you're in the US, this looks like a good deal: A HIS X800 XL (Beats the Pro) with IceQ for <$175.
