should I buy x800 pro

[wonc]

Hello, people,
Now I am changing my mind from ATI radeon 9800 pro to x800 pro. According to Fry's outpost.com, this card is $329.99. Should I get this one, or should I wait for x700 series to come out?

x800 pro > x700 anything

Well, that is nice quote.

Nice price for a X800Pro although in benchmarks the 6800GT (at 400$) usually beats it in most games, it's still a good card and some can even be flashed to X800XT but I think they're dying down so pretty risky.

I agree with the other guy why would you spend $329 on a crippled card when you can spend another $50 and get a real card like a 6800GT, that doesnt have its pixel and vertex pipes crippled, not a smart or well informed purchase imo, if you cant afford the extra $50 then you should save up because it is worth it, dont be foolish and buy the X800Pro you will be extremely dissapointed in its performance once you have seen the performance of the 6800GT, go take a look at the New Toms Hardware VGA Charts IV.
