I’m not too sure whether spending $500 on a video card will do any good (for the sake of a few more FPS, bragging rights, and a bit more of AA and AF)
I’d rather settle for a X1800XT and a nice 19" LCD where I could comfortably game at 1280 x 1024 without burning a hole in my pocket…
quote from Anandtech:
One of the interesting non-performance related aspects of this launch is that ATI is phasing out the X1800 series. Their future roadmaps seem to leave a gap in the price range from $200 to $500, so it will be quite interesting to watch what ATI tries to fill the hole with this time around. Maybe we’ll see some X1600 GTO parts with unlockable R520/R580 cores. Or maybe we’ll see another product launch. Only time will tell.
Which card will this ghost card battle out with??? (If it ever becomes a reality that is…)The 1900XT only manages to beat the 7800GTX.

Funny why’re they phasing it out?? couldn’t have earned enough from the line to justify that…WTF? Seems ATI is in financial straits or wat??
They’re handing it to NVIDIA on a silver platter…
