looking at the specs it seems it is? i dont get the whole ATI numbering? ive always used a nvidia geforce. I may be able to go up to 90-100 for my next PCIe card

stick with the 1600pro

X850pro costs 140

1600pro costs 90

X850 is the last gen high end card,
1600 is the new gen low to midrange card

WHich is better tho? i mean i can get a open boxed X850 for like 9$ more.... would i need the cords to run the x850 on a 300 watt psu? because open box dont come with the cords and such. here is my choices ...

Open Box X850 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102688R

New X1600PRO - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161034

the x850 has 16 pixel pipeline and the X1600 has 12. I just wan the best card for the price.
