etc, then X800 vs the 6600 series.
Since you say the 6800 ULTRA is supposed to compete with the X800XTPE..where does the X850 series go..? It can't be the 7800 series because that's a next gen card, which ATI still has to release.

This is how it goes, in my opinion. When I say for example X800XTPE vs 6800GT/6800ULTRA i mean the performance of the first card is going to be in the middle of the second two cards or its going to beat the first card and not the second. Two many goddamn ATI cards IMO.

from my experience, the X800XTPE is significantly better than a 6800GT overclocked at or even past 6800Ultra speeds.

That's my experience too after having owned both.

No no no.
The X800XT and XTPE were meant to compete with the 6800 Ultra. The x800xt was faster, but the 6800u sold more because of flashy features like sm3.0 and hdr.
The X800Pro was meant to compete with 6800GT. The x800pro was slower for the same price, so it fell flat on its face.
The X800XL was meant to crush the 6800gt. With about the same performance, for sometimes over $100 less, it did so. Nvidia never responded to the x800xl.
The X700Pro was meant to compete with the 6600gt, which it lost terribly.
People were constantly buying the 6XXX cards instead of the Xxxx cards almost completely because it was smashed into their skulls that sm3.0 is the future and not having it is suicidal in the game industry. ATI then released the X850 series, they figured that even though they STILL didn't have sm3.0, that making their current obsolete technology faster, that it would win back the people. For the most part, the x850 series was a complete waste of time. Even more price premiums and only marginal at best performance advantages left something to be desired.
The 7800GTX is the next generation card. ATI has yet to release the R520, which is what will compete against the 7800GTX in the performance category.

I still remember picking the x800xt pe last November over the 6800Ultra because I saw better benches for the x800xt pe everywhere..
so the x850xt pe is definately better than than 6800Ultra.
