"ATi RADEON X1800 XL is set to become available over the course of this coming weekend, and the new entry-level RADEON X1300 PRO will also be available next week.

The current ultra-high-end RADEON X1800 XT will become available within three weeks, and our intelligence is that 10th November is the date for mass availability"

Nice, but it's still pricey to compete with nvidia in the non-fanboy section (not inherently a fan of nvidia or ATi).

Re: x1800xt vs 7800gtx review

The 1800 looks to be dominating. I'd like to see a comparison between it and Nvidia's 512mb version whenever it comes out, though.

This is good, despite the availablity of the cards. If ATI can get its act together, it might bring the competition that is badly needed.

Re: x1800xt vs 7800gtx review

I don't understand how it is better...it has 8 less pipes, its clocks are pretty high but I wouldn't think they would make that much of a differnce.

Re: x1800xt vs 7800gtx review

The fact that you can't use the BF2 Maya plugins for exporting models into the BF2 Editor with an ATI card, would put me off buying another ATI card. I have a X850XT PE and it runs BF2 maxed out like butter....but I'm ****ed I cant export models in Maya as the plugins only support Nvidia cards.

The more pipes, the more pixels output per Mhz right? The higher GPU Mhz, the more pixels output. There are other things such as GPU architecture differences, but this is just a crude example.

Ati have just found the correct balance to outperform.
