Built By ATI(meaning highest built quality ATi Card) Radeon X850XT 256MB DDR3 PCI-E x16 Graphics Card

Its 11 months old, in perfect working condition and is a very good performer
Its easily outperforms all the current midrange cards(like Geforce 8600gt, 7600gt/gs, or Radeon HD2600xt, x1600, etc) due to superior 256Bit Bus (as compared to 128-Bit bus in mentioned cards). The 256-Bit bus gives you much smoother gameplay, with higher avg. frame rate.
Consult this chart for Doom 3 at High Settings(taken from Toms Hardware)

The benchmarks, although show just difference of 4-8FPS with nearest midrange card(HD2600XT, 8600gt), but however, this FPS is the highest obtained. The difference may be as high as 20FPS in outdoor location in games or scenes with high details as more bandwidth(provided by 256Bit bus on x850) is required for these type of scenes. The FPS drops on 128Bit cards are very large, owners of such cards would know...

You can do more comparison here: VGA Charts 2007 | Tom's Hardware
Requirements
1.A good 450W(or more) PSU w/ 6pin PCI-E connector is mandatory to run this...
2.16X PCI-E Graphics Slot
It was bought from US, so no local warranty, but I will give you 3 days warranty from my side...

Here is the Picture of the Product(the card is exactly same as shown)



I'm just selling this card as I will be getting a Geforce 8800 as gift, otherwise this card currently suffices my gaming needs...
 
its would be quite faster, especially at higher resolutions(1024x768 or up) or with AA/AF applied due to higher bandwidth of 256bit bus..
 
Yes, this won't run SM 3.0 games at all. All modern games are turning out to be shader model 3.0 only as it passes on. Otherwise it'd definitely be a better buy than 8600gt.
 
hmm...it could be an issue with some specific games, but most mass market games like unreal 3, cod4, crysis, quake 4,nfs pro street, tf2/css run with ease on it.
I've run crysis at Medium-High settings@1280x960 resolution at playable frame rate on my machine and I believe no other card in this price range can do that...

Anyways its the buyer's call depending on his priorities...
