Debating between two video cards

[Gorro]

Both cards are nearly the same money, but I'm unsure of which would run BF2 better...here are the two cards:

ATI Radeon X800XL 512MB

ATI Radeon X850XT 256MB

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102483

Any help/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

X850XT for sure.

Here's why:

X850XT. I have the X850XT PE, and I can tell you that it is a great card.

But the X800XL will still run BF2 very well, and for less money, but if money isnt an issue... go for the X850XT

Clicking the links will reveal that there is only $10 between them and I think that X800XL is very overpriced which is why I recommended the X850XT since it is much faster too.

I ment to say a 256mb X800XL... 512mb is overkill right now.

Re: Debating between two video cards

Even with BF2 out there, games are nowhere near needing 512MB of VRAM. I have an x800 XL, but thats only because I didn't have the money for the x850 XT so I would recommend going for that.

Re: Debating between two video cards

If you're talking about the X800XL 256mb instead, it's 250 bucks on newegg.com, which means it's 130 bucks cheaper, it doesn't really matter, but i think you should go for a 7800GT, cause it's only 30 bucks more than the X850XT, and it's much better, and no don't flame me, i'm anything but a nvidia fanboy, i'm more of an ATi fanboy, IMO the R520 will own the 7800GTX (and i said IMO, so don't flame me.
