Congtratz, but didnt you said your probably going to get new new computer (maybe im getting mixed up with riki but whatever), so i would have just waited until then becouse if you want to keep that card your going to have to buy an agp mobo wich is leaving you unupgradeable, becouse agp is slowly passing away.
Originally posted by ZivaDomini Where'd you get the card? Asking because they discontinued AGP production on X850's already. I'm assuming they just have some sitting on shelves still from backstock. Btw in your sig it says "Platnium Edition" instead of "Platinum Edition."
ummm they might be discotinued by ATI
but by a Beutiful Beutiful brand called VisionTek they are not

Originally posted by tummbler x1000 series isn't that great. Saw an article (Might of even been posted here) that showed it on par with the 7800s.
actually the x1800xt is above the geforce7800 in 3dmark05 but most games its about the same as the 7800.
by the way..
i used to have 256mb ram and a radeon 7000 32mb
i just got my comp today with 3gigs of ram and a geforce 7800 gtx
Yeah, but benchmarks don't mean anything if the card can't perform in games. The cards are about the same, point is though, everyone was saying the X1000 series was going to KILL the 7800.
I'll be upgrading when the X1800 comes out and the drivers are stable. I never buy brand new because it always takes ATI like a month or two to have decent drivers. Last time I bought brand new I couldn't beta test any of the games I was playing because the drivers weren't supported. So I had to just wait.
Once I upgrade I'll have the X1800 XT (Probably Platinum Edition.) 2 GB RAM, 3.6 GHZ CPU.
I keep hearing rumors about the Pentium 5 coming out soon. anyone heard anything about that?

How come you went with the X850 instead of waiting a month or two for the X1800?
Not flaming, just curious.
Until you cancel your subscription, you are only helping to continue the cycle of mediocrity.
because i dont have PCI EXPRESS
and because i wanted/needed the card NOW!

You do know that the x1000 family is being released this month.
BTW, my employer may purchase dual 7800's for me for "work at home".

they are not

A lot of people are saying that the X1000 series is equal to, or only insignificantly better than the 7800. ATI's struggling.
A lot of people are really hoping that their rumored 32 pipeline card is less rumor and more fact. Frankly, I'm hoping so too
