x800Pro and x800XT

Im not saying ATI is bad. I have a ATI card myself and I love it but Im just saying that since they arnt supporting DirrectX9C and I dont like that. Thats one of the main reasons I wouldnt get it.

the cards are pretty close. nvidia takes some tests and ati takes some. i think on average, the 6800u has been taking more of the tests in a slight lead.

ATI has most certainly not 'pwned' nvidia in this series thus far at all. no one has 'pwned' anyone yet.

My Ati beginnings started with a 9600xt and now a 9800Pro and havent had a single problem with them. If I could, I would be getting the x800XT but unless I get the rest of my money from my 9600xt I sold and sell my 9800Pro plus about $100 more.

but to answer your question since no one has yet

have they come out yet? x800Pro is out in kind of limited quantites but it can be found
x800XT is supposed to be out in the next week or 2 from what I've heard
and more importantly how much are they running for? x800Pro's retail price is $399 and x800XT is retail'd at $499

Err.. If you haven't come off as a highly biased nVidia fanboy in this thread I can't think of much that would make it much more obvious.

I'm partial to ATI cards, myself. As to DX9C support I'm not too worried. That can be added later with Driver updates. But I'm not planning on getting this set of chips, I'll wait for the next wave.

I dont take sides. I said which one is doing better. It doesnt really matter, I would take either lol they are both very good cards. I was just saying that I personaly dont like that ATI has half assed DirectX9c support. It bothers me that they did that. Eh oh well I'll just shut up.
