http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi...ry=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 xl for only 350.....

 

[Elfear]

That's a sweet price. Dang near the same level as the 7800GTs.

 

[Eureka]

Hmm... amazing. It's 325 to be exact.

Looks like ATI is winning the price/performance with NVidia. Way to go competition!!!

Battlefield2
ATI 1800XL @ 1600x1200_4xAA : 57.7 fps / $250 = 0.23 frames per second per dollar
7800 GT @ 1600x1200_4xAA : 56.2 fps / $280 = 0.20 frames per second per dollar

Far Cry
ATI 1800XL @ 1600x1200_4xAA : 60.3 fps / $250 = 0.24 frames per second per dollar
7800 GT @ 1600x1200_4xAA : 63.1 fps / $280 = 0.22 frames per second per dollar

nice on 1800xl price drop, but the 7800gt's have been hovering around that price point for a while, and some for much less.

Sorry to double post, but I think this is what it should look like:

sisq0kidd, why do you show the XL at $350, when the first link clearly shows it for $325? The OP was wrong, its $350 with a $25 instant saving, no mail in bs.

Thats a heck of a price on the XL, nice to see it drop so fast.

What's the warrenty on OEM parts. The description is wrong, memory speed is listed as 500mhz while all other descriptions show the x2 DDR rate of 1000, unless they really are using crappy 250mhz memory.

 

[Powermoloch]

Nice to see the competition is fl0win !

I would take the x1800xl any day just because of better IQ.

Not really an apple to apple comparison anyway. The price for the xl is wrong, but it's an OEM compared to GT retails. The cheapest XL retail is 369.

NM, according to Monarch Computers Site- this card is covered with a 2 yr warrenty so it doesn't really matter if it's OEM or retail.

Gosh I wouldn't mind one of these. Anybody know when the GTX 256MB is going to see a price drop?

the 7800GT still has the lead as far as price/performance. also the GTX 256 is still about 100 bucks under the 1800XT.

their getting close. but not close enough. we'll see what happens as soon as the R580 is released, maybe they'll lower the price to nvidia levels then.

It does have better AF, calling him is newb is not helping the thread.

It is pretty ironic though you calling someone else a newb... since you have a 200Mhz FSB CPU, and 166Mhz ram...

 

[videogames101]

I was going for the 7800gt, should i get the xl now?

 

[BW86]

wow, what an awesome price.

Um, the memory is clocked at 500Mhz, but the "effective" clock speeds are 1000Mhz since it's DDR memory. Some stores post the real clocks, others post the effective clocks.
