Just installed X850XT PE and WOW!!

[00maxse]

This card is amazing! I can run Need For Speed Underground 2 and Most Wanted at full graphics and highest resolution with NO SLOW DOWN whatsoever! I'm very pleased. 😀

Now, I could only imagine what it would be like to have 2 X1900xt's running in Crossfire. :drool:

 

[TabrisDarkPeace]

Dude, wth were you running before ?

 

[chuckshissle]

Is this your first time with a video card? You seems so surprise about your upgrade. Good for you man. 😱

 

[dvdpiddy]

let me guess you were using a 5700 before or a 9600

 

[StigHelmer]

You got it to work? Good for you.. Enjoy

 

[sylvez]

oh oh is this a guessing game?

i love guessing games... :lol:

lets see... 4200Ti?

 

[xientist]

Ooh.. Yeah X850XT is powerful.. The only thing is that it doesn't support SM3.0...

:lol: Before this, I was running an XFX 6600GT 128mb.

Congrats! The move from 6600GT to X850 is a huge jump in performance. You can savely crank the games up now (bar a few). Never mind SM3.0 - it's a nice to have, but not such a huge difference like SM1.x vs SM2.x (if you take out HDr from the equation) plus games only started lately to include SM3.0 (except Far Cry).

Hey,

Thanks for posting your thoughts about this card. I'm in the process of building my rig and I'm leaning a lot towards the ATI x850xt. Glad it works for you. Could you say where you got and the cost, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[michaelahess]

I got an x800 pro, opened the additional 4 pipes (not all support this, I was lucky) and oc'd to the 850 PE speeds (a bit faster), runs great, cost $100 or so less

I got it used off of ebay for $355 including shipping. I checked the past auctions to see what they sold for and I got a decent deal.

 

[Heyyou27]

Oh my god; for that price you could have gotten a 7800 GT or an X1800 XL.

 

[KingLoftusXII]

Maybe not. Newegg has it for $415 w/$30 off for a total of $388.50 w/shipping.

(refering to the same card, not using the money for a different one)

 

[KingLoftusXII]

The X850XT PE.

 

[00maxse]

Mine is AGP. :? I WISH I had PCI-E. My next comp will.

Do they really? I just searched the site and I can't find a listing for it. :?:

 

[TheMaster]

400 dollars?!?!

Save yourself 100 dollars.

 

[KingLoftusXII]

Click video cards , with search select X850XT PE under gpu. Only 1

[TheMaster]

whooops double post.

 

[unreal111]

dont they have a $200 with it or something.

 

[Rabidpeanut]

Someone saw some for $200 a month or two back, but i think they are going up again.

 

[PX7800GT]

Hey 00MaxSE , Can Please tell me exactly in wich detail and what resolution you play MOST WANTED ?? (reflection,shadows,AA,World Detail...) Because i cant play MOST WANTED az 1024x768 at max setting (but i can play battle field 2 at 1600x1200+4xAA at max)
i think MOST WANTED is not a nvidia game because with my preview 6800 i had to play most wanted at medium detail an 800x600
Somebody Help Me...

 

[shinigamiX]

You serious?? That rig of yours should run it no problem...
What settings do you run it at?

 

[PX7800GT]

i play it with all the setting ( except AA ) to maximum but i cant play at 1024x768 because the frame rate will be to low , now i play it in 800x600 with 2xAA and all the settings to maximum , ( why is that ? i dont think it has more graphic than FEAR that i can play at maximum with 2xAA all frame rate is alwayse beyond 60 )
