lol unfortunately I only have one, but over here in australia I got the card as soon as it came out - within a week, when there was only one brand out. It cost me $900 AUD, but I'm definately getting another one after I get some cash.

i wouldnt be so sure.. but it depends on the CPU used - 7800s are SEVERELY CPU limited... i wouldnt be using one unless I had an FX-57, if I had the choice that is. x850's arent bad, but I wouldnt put them above a 7800.. the numbers dont add up. 24 pipelines versus 16 pipelines.. means the 7800 pushes more pixels per cycle, which should mean that it makes better graphics. And besides, most games are made for nVIDIA nowadays.

I've used many X850 XT's and many 7800's now as I've just setup my own small business building PC's (shameless advertising!). I've noticed that the 7800 performs better overall. You certainly don't need an FX-57 to run a 7800 though. Anything above a 3500+ would be sufficient. But if you want to run them in Sli mode I would suggest either one of the dual core 4000+ or if you want to stay single core then the FX-55.

My rig: Intel Q9650 3.0Ghz, ATI Radeon 4870 X2 2048Mb, 6Mb DDR2 6400 RAM, Asus Rampage Formula X48 Motherboard.

lets have a poll, whoever thinks the 7800 performs better say so, if you dont agree, say the X850, my vote goes to the 7800.

and you have neither card right solorgame?

also i heard the 7800 can be had for around 399.00 thats a pretty good deal for a great video card like that.

botttom line either card X850 or 7800 is more card than any of us will ever need

yeah good point aabbccdd, they are both gr8 cards, and noone can even contemplate their power yet - they might not be needed now, but we will certainly have the edge later on.

Well even with my setup when playing the demo of FEAR it's not the smoothest of games. It's good but not as good as I'd expect it to be. I still think that Doom 3 looks much better. Although I think that is down to it being a demo version and also that software developers have not even scratched the surface of the7800's potential yet.

hey aabbccdd, of course i dont have a 500 dollar video card. not many of us do, that was a pretty crappy personal attack, its called an opinion.
like you said noone will use that much. i think its a pretty big waste of money unless you need it for your job or somethin.
