dont just go on 3d mark scores, they vary depending on the whole system.

thanks ME but what do people think of the Connect3D ATI Radeon X800 XL 256MB???

it looks a good card and on the link ME gave me scores pretty well i think.... doom 3 sumin like 93fps (low settings) but still! ! the cards that beat it are the 6800ultra and gt and they cost a fair bit more aswell.... and by about 10fps...

i think that is the card to get but tell me otherwise!

reading belloni's thread...are api cards hard to overclock!?

[Me__2001]

all cards are easy to overclock, it just depends on if you get a card that is already at its limit

Don't think of it any longer, if you can afford it go for the geforce 6800 gt. I'm playing Doom 3 with ultra quality and it just rocks!. Anyway Ati graphic cards don't work properly on games like doom or far cry, there's gotta do some twitchin' with the latest catalyst drivers.

With my new nvdia 6800gt everything works just fine. Go for it you won't regret it

[Me__2001]

the 6800 series is better for some games but do you want to spend the extra cash ? either way a 6800 or X800 series card will be amazing

[G~MAN]

The thing is with the x800 XL and the 6800gt is the price differcence!

''there's gotta do some twitchin' with the latest catalyst drivers''

what do you mean by that :S

[bernat]

I mean with the original ati drivers a friend of mine could not run doom 3 properly. He had to d/l catalysts drivers ad enable/disable some options to make it work. I found it too complicated. That's what I meant.
And even with the latest drivers for the x800 it cannot be compared to the geforce 6800 (which is the one I ened up buying after owning an ATI X600)
