The price points that these X800XL AGP versions will be offered at will be much more competitve than X800Pro cards whilst giving similar if not better performance. In some cases come very close to XT results to if current PCIE version overclocks are anything to go by
if i buy an x800 type thing i should be good for a cpl of years anyways
what a joke.
In terms of discrete vpus, ATi is indeed world's top.
