Ok, so that just leaves the question....

X800GTO or 7300GT? (GDDR3 versions)

 

[smitbret]

If you were thinking 7600GS price range, try any of these. For less than $130, you'll walk all over anything but the top line current generation.

from what i know 70-80 from what i know andhave seen the gf6600 is around that much.
80-90 the ati x800 series has been found at that low.
90-110 the ati x800GTO was seen at that price i think somewhere

 

[toasty2]

the X850XT is good, I think I'll get it. But I'd still like to know which is better....the X800XT or 7600GT?

 

[melarcky]

the gf 7600gt? the ati x850xt is its equal to the gf 7600gt, but the gf 7600gt has SM.3.0 the its only main advantege other wise they are equal

 

[toasty2]

I mean to ask, which is better: the X800GTO or 7300GT, sorry. My bad, the X850XT I know is as good as the 7600GT. I asked the wrong question.

 

[melarcky]

the ati x800GTO, it will beat it quiet easaly. the gf7300GT DDR3 is a good card and its close to the gf7600GS but it is still not close to the x800GTO

i think that the x850xt PE is the best fallowed by the gf7600gt

 

[toasty2]

Ok, I was looking at Wikipedia and I am curious...does the X850XT PE support DX9.0c?, because its listed as 9.0b.

 

[melarcky]

no no from what i know the x850XT PE is a DX 9.0b because ati didnt start their DX9.0c cards tell the X1xxx series

 

[toasty2]

Does it matter? Because my current card (not 9.0c, I think) is working (in my sig) and I have DX9.0c installed on my computer. I can play BF2, CS:S, HL2, etc. fine...

 

[melarcky]

trust me you wont notice the the difference just got with the x850XT PE its a great card.
