   Oh wow, was almost thinking ATI was going to do a GTO version of the x1800! It would be interesting to see if the x1800 GTO would end up being a x800 GTO/GTO2 deal where one can unlock the hidden pipelines, etc. If it would, that card is going to go out of stock like lightning. Imagine, a x1900 card at $279!

   Should be much better than a 7800gt, I'd hope. With the x1900 out now nobody but nobody is going to buy the x1800xt. Rename, lock pipes, half memory, lower price, and SELL.

   [b]Originally posted by fiziks:[/b][quote]"with support for a whopping 256MB of graphics memory"wtf[/quote]Typo maybe? I blinked when I read it too, I was thinking for sure that they meant 512Mb...I wonder what the overclocking potential of this card will be, If its anything like the X800GTO2, it should be a treat.I'm taking a wait and see approach though, I'm pretty tempted to snap up a 7900 when they're out next month.
