ATI RADEON X800 XL

[sirawesome]

Does any one know if the ATI RADEON X800 XL supports Shader Model 3.0 ? Also if anyone has this card let me know the up and downs of the card. Wanted to know if the card was good overall and if it was worth the investment.

It all depends on what you want and what you already have...

It doesn't support SM3.0

Its not a bad card, but i dont know if its good for you because i dont know your budget or what else you have.

What's your budget, what is your system, what resolution do you want to play at, etc etc?

I have
AMD 64 3500+
1 gig ram
250 sata hd

I would like a good card between $100- $300

the question is, do you actually need SM3.0 ???
if so, the 7800GT from nvidia or wait a week or 2 for ATI to get their cards out

Trust me I know what I'm doing... ooops, grab the cat...

Your system is fine. The question still remains, what do you want to play and at what resolution? Are you playing monopoly on a 6" monitor at 320x240 or are you playing Battlefield 2 on a 24" LCD at 1920x1200?

I usually play all of the latest and greatest fps; I would prefer a higher resolution.I would like a solid card that will last me a while.
I thought I read some where that Ati released support for Shader Model 3.0 in one of their drivers?
Thanks For the feed back

[sirawesome]
