Not sure about the current gen rankings, the X800XL and 6800GT are pretty similar, yet for ATi X800XL is high end and for nVidia the 6800GT is mid-high, even though they are fairly matching cards.
X800XL maybe should drop down to mid-high, and the X800 vanilla drop down to low-high since it's a simple 12 pipe card like the comparable 6800 vanilla.

Thankyou for catching that. Not quite sure what i was thinking . Ill edit it immediately.

Well, now it is on the forums. You dont have to go to a different site.

Im not going to make this all conclusive either. Lastest generation only. Just so people dont get confused on the cards. (No one is going to by a Riva 128 or something anymore).

You messed up the pipeline and vertex shader count on the x700 cards. They have 8 pipes and 6 vertex units, not 4 and 2.

Wow, that is a huge error. I dont even know why i didn't catch that (kind of hard to compete with the 6600's if it were this way eh).

Sorry about that, once again, wasn't thinking. Just a bonehead move

Will fix ASAP.

Also I think the X850XT has a memory clock of 1080, not 1120.

 

[imported_Kensai]

Intresting.

 

[Gamingphreek]

Cant wait for the rest of the next gen offerings.

It was pretty cool making this thread as well, because a lot of it i never bothered to remember.

Here's a link (mini roundup) I found in a Slashdot article that shows benchmarks and prices for many cards. I found it very useful for comparisons.

You have the X800XTPE only in PCI-e, it also comes in AGP

Updated with yet another X8 series card.

Good post Kevin, this should be sticky'ed.

Sticky! ....with updates of course
