check this price out, read carefully this is a pro, not a xt

x800 pro (http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/simprod.asp?pid=8988&ad=pwatch)

who the hell would buy this, for this kind of money.Absurd.

I preordered a x800 xt for 50 bux less.

That's the going rate man. I just paid $430 US for a Sapphire X800 Pro, and they are all around that price. (mag)

Got a link for where you did that preorder? That is absurdly cheap. :ORDER:

Yea, I just walked in and bought it. They had them in stock. If you preordered then remember the prices may change when the actual product hits the shelves, if not, then sweet deal. :thumbsup:

It came with some screwed up Sapphire Cat 4.4's, but I installed the 4.5's off ATI's site.

As for the performance, it chews up my 9800 Pro and spits it out. I have NOT found ANY game that I currently own that I can't play at 1280x with 4x or 6xAA and 16AF and drop below 60FPS.

The card is bloody amazing, that's all I have to say. :clap:

Overclocks bloody well too. :)

Check the sig man :)

Stock cooling still BTW, but I plan on changing that. (mag)

Yep, I get so so framerate in Far Crap but it NEVER changes no matter what amount of AA or aniso I use or oddly enough, what res I run, meaning it's my CPU that is limiting the framerate, not the card. :retard:

That's a mean little OC....I've got high hopes for mine...as soon as I test the card I'm taking it out and slapping on the wa-wa
