I have a friend who is considering the purchase of this graphics card. It's an ATI x1600PRO 256mb PCI Express card manufacturted by Sapphire. It's my understanding that the x1600 cards are midrange class GPUs meant to compete with Nvidia cards like the 6800 GS. If that's true then at $122 this is an incredible (if a bit unbelievable) bargain. Furthermore the few benchmarks I have been able to find seem to put this card more in the 6600GT class with one in particular showing a 6600GT beating it in virtually all tests.
What I want to know is where does this card actually stand in performance-wise. I'm obviously more familiar with the Nvidia line-up so a comparison to one of their parts would be
helpful.
