X800 GT

I read that the other day. They doubt they will call it X800GT But 16 pipes sweet.

The big question is? what is the price for that going to be. I've seen XTs for less that Pros. Since they are all overpricing them.

Yeah I posted it as part of <A HREF="http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardware/modules.php?nam..." target="_new">another thread</A>, not on it's own.

It's interesting, but the question remains how do you move your price points. The X800Pro would need to drop IMO, and and X800pro versus a GF6800 would be a huge advantage.

Then what happens to the X800SE?

If they lower the price of the x800pro to the 6800, then the x800se would be near the price of x600XT/pro or whatever, and that would compete market with ATI's mainstream, like Nvidia's 5900se competing with its own 5700ultra.

Exactly, so how are they going to price it so it isn't simply $50 different and not canablize their own lineup?

Speaking of which, I'm gonna post a link to FiringSquad's ASUS X600XT-HTVD review.

Your not kidding. $500-XTpe, $450-XT, $400-GT, $350-pro, $300-SE, $200 X600XT? And street prices will obviously vary from list price. Should be intersting for sure.


ABIT IS7, P4 2.6C, 1GB Corsair XMS 4000 Pro Series, Radeon 9800 Pro, Santa Cruz, TruePower 430watt

they could just confuse everyone by replacing the X800pro with 16 pipes and call it X800pro REV2.0 and then there'll be havoc in the graphics board

"i saw the review on XYZ for the X800pro why is mine doing so much worse?"
"I GOT RIPPED OFF!! MY X800pro SUX!!!"
"SCREW U TO ALL THAT RECOMMMANDED ME THE X800! IT DIDN'T EVEN BEAT 6800GT"
"what's Rev2? can u eat it?"

Nah, I think everyone learned from the FX5600Ultra fiasco (and even the Sapphire R9800pro 128bit) that that route is not a good idea.

Maybe Powerkolor could rename their SEs Pros keeping with typical PC fashion.

Is it just me or are there too many cards on the market?

It's Just you! :tongue:

BTW, at least ATI hasn't gone the X800 LE/EPV/SL/BVD/QED/ASAFP/OBE/DQ-ME route, like the FX5900.

it is just you. I can't wait for the new card. I don't feel good buying the 6800 GT when it isn't good at AF.
