Have you considered just checking an Anandtech review for comparative numbers? Also check TomsHardware.com's VGA Charts IV, digit-life.com's recent enormous roundup, xbitlabs.com's recent roundups, and Beyond3D's GeCube X800P review.

Judging by tech specs alone, a X800P can be 25-70% faster than a 9800XT, depending on the game and the settings.

X800P: 12 pipes @ 475MHz, 256MB 256-bit DDR @ 450MHz
9800XT: 8 pipes @ 412MHz, 256MB 256-bit DDR @ 365MHz

Fillrate: +70%
Bandwidth: +25%

X800 Pro by a mile, not to mention the 9800XT is insanely overpriced.

Dumb? Maybe you should learn to spell before you make that kind of statement.

Not every member knows everything about video cards. It could be because in Canada, the x800 pros are actually cheaper than 9800 xts.
