I can't see myself ever paying 400 quid for a graphics card.

/waits for 9800 pro prices to drop some more

I want the x800xt (after I sell my 9800xt)
Any idea's on the price anyone? Komplett don't have it yet. Apparently it's about 500 dollars in the U.S.

Stephen

probably gonna be about 500 euros + vat here then.

CivilServant

Yeah x800xt will go for $499 in the US and the x800xt won't be out for another month so June at the earliest. Judging by the price tag for an x800 pro from komplett, I'll guess the x800xt will cost anywhere from €500 to €550. Steep I know, it's ridiculous how much you have to spend on a top quality card these days.

Sleipnir

It is a silly amount of money alright but whaddayagonnado?
I need a high-end card for running Lock-On.

The x800pro's overclock past xt levels much the same as the 9800 pro's did with the 9800xt's.

Think I will get the pro and I'm sure artic will bring their vga coolers to the new cards allowing a much higher overclock.

400 euro sounds alright.

Anyone want a 9800xt with Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness for 250 euro?

Bear in mind the retail version for €20 more comes with a free HL2 yolkie........Us Europeans always gets screwed on price, should be €320-350 . Atleast jes are a little cheaper, which always helps.

Anyway im happy with my 9700 for another while anyway, would like to see a few home grown benchmarks and to see how the cards overclock.

Yeah I'll probably wait too until all the drivers and overclocking options are available. I doubt that would be too long
