Pipe lines may be unlockable.

EDIT: It's a vivo, says it on newegg.

Now that's a Crackin' Deal!

That's news to me. But $399 is asking a lot for 12 pixel pipelines.

I think the SM 3.0 would sell the 6800's over x800/850 series...hey whatever floats your boat, if you dont want SM3.0, go for it!

The x800pro had 12 pipes and was 399, not to mention this card might unlock like the x800pro vivos did.

EDIT: Yes this card is vivo, says it.

I haven't heard anything about it being unlockable and if it isn't, at that price point it's a definite loser with regard to the competition.

Is this better than the X800 XL 256mb DDR3 which has 16 pipelines for $299 ?

 

[imported_Hi]

finally it arrived since all there other cards are out

 

[fstime]

Hey, at least it's at MSRP.

 

[Bar81]

Sadly, that is a plus these days.

SM 3.0 don't make an image quality difference.

you can get a x850xt for like 460 or so at zipzoom 🙂

I wouldnt buy a x850pro unless it unlocked. the x800xl beats it

I would easily take a 299.00 X800XL over a 399.00 X850pro any day. Even if it unlocks.
