x800 pro or xt

[ShadowBlade]

whats the difference between ati's pro and xt editions of their video cards?

 

[Waylay00]

XT is a little faster.

 

[ShadowBlade]

theres no significant difference?

15%~

the XT has higher clock speeds and has 16 pipes whereas the pro has 12 pipes and lower clock speeds.

must be an intel user...(aside from pipelines) all he cares about is clock speed

considering that XT and PRO use the same GPU, i think it's fair to compare by pipelines and clock speed... and memory speeds if applicable

You can either A)Get an PRO w/ vivo and flashmod it to an XT or

Get an XT and OC it ti even more speeds (CT-PE for instance)

Is it just me, but I hav been seeing a lot more X850XTs rather then just X800s, and for cheaper also then the X800s...

if you're not happy with members telling you the physical and operational differences between to the two, what did you want to hear?

"this one is faster i think..."

"that one is faster in my opinion..."

"no your wrong and im right newbie!..."

is that better? or maybe you wanted to see benchmarks? if so, just do a simple search on google and you'll yield tons of hardware reviewing sites that'll give you the hard figures in a nice graphical representation.

as for the sarcasm towards someone's helpful post, you should refrain from stuff like that when asking for advice/help

If only the X800 XL was at its MSRP, I would say take that one, and over-clock it to XT speeds easily. But right now its rarity puts its price sky high everywhere.

Wait for the XL
