Opinions-RADEON X800 XL 256MB PCI EXPRESS

Looks like you can get a preorder for above card delivered for $222. I have in my computer the Radeon X300 series. I do some gaming, but interested in graphic quality.Is it worth the spending $222 for this upgrade? Help appreciated, thanks.

Is it worth THAT, YES!!! However, it will probably be awhile before you actually get it. Most manufacturers are saying mid/late feb, even early March before they get the cards out. They have confirmed, however, that they do have the cores (and are getting more shortly), so don't blame ATi.

Oh ya, that card is so much faster than the x300 that it's not even funny. Good price too.

Upgrade? Worth it?

Yes - without question. that extra power goes on to provide much higher resolutions with a higher level of effects available in games with more AA and AF.

Definately worth it.
