Got home and this was waiting for me. I ordered it from newegg on sunday and got here today. I'm not bragging just very, very happy. Pretty nice upgrade from a 9200 pro.

3.2GHz
gig of kingston ram.
gigabyte x800 xt pe :cheers:

actual card.
 
How bout snagging another one of those things for me? :D?
 
I love static proof bags, but on topic...my 9600XT owns your x800XT in pretty colours...in working i lose by a bit :( your system could run it okay at 1024 x 768 , medium everything, 20 FPS...enjoy :P
 
:thumbs: I know the feeling. But, I can't do any more computer shopping for a few months now.
 
Wrong forum..... This, I think should go into the Hardware & Software Forum, and second why do we care what you get? No need to spam the boards with this.... :dozey:

ehrm...

i run on high everything on a 3.0 with a Ti4200 in 1280x1024 and i get 60 fps
 
I run on High too, with my lame X300 [too poor at the time of computer purchase to get the X800 (3.0Ghz and 1 GB of RAM)], 800x600 at ~60, maybe a bit higher fps. Haven't tried out higher resolutions yet. That same card is on my list; report back about it!
 
Jeez lighten up, the guy is just pumped up a bit, let him vent! Too many self acclaimed forum police around here!

Yeah, maybe you're right, but what's with the negativity? I didn't spend this much money to just put it in my pc and remain in silence. I'm just.. haaapy, and I think you should be too, ok buddy? :D

Haha its all good..... sometimes I get forum mood swings :stare:
I tend to be a forum policeman every once inawhile :P
 
Nice card Ericms, I ordered the HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X800 XT PE ICEQ II 256MB DDR3 about 3 months ago, but them being in short supply here, I'm still waiting. The website of the company I ordered it from, now says delivery should be sometime in January. Upgrading from Radeon 9800XT which I'll be passing on to a friend. :)
 
WTF, Prevail? Are you just running at DX 7 or something? Sheesh, I have a 6600GT and I run at maxed out, 1280x1024, 4xAA, trillinear filtering (don't see any dif beyond performance wise really with AF, although not much performance hit on 8x) and reflect world and I average 55-60fps on the HL2 benchmarks.
 
I really see no difference, as long as its above 50fps for me I'm a happy camper, and it has great performance settings in games. I love my 9800 Pro, no need to spend huge bucks to get the 6800 or the X800.

No problem man, it's understandable.
 
Lol, what a coincidence. I just bought one of those TODAY. The same exact one, Gigabyte X800XT PE. It came with Thief: Deadly Shadows and Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising.

Here's how HL2 looks: (1280x1024, 6x AA, 16x AF, full settings)

Far. Cry: (1280x1024, Max settings, full AA and AF)

Don't mind the God mode in the upper left hand corner :o
 
Hey, my resolution is 1280x1024 too. So cool.

Also, what're the rest of your specs?

Yeah, I can turn it up to 1600x1200 with great framerates, but everything on the main menu is so small that its hard to read lol. So I just use 1280x1024.

EDIT: Full specs are:

AMD Athlon 64 FX-51
1024 MB RAM
120GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
Gigabyte X800XT PE
ASUS SK8N socket 940 motherboard (i think its 940)
 
hope you guys didnt pay too much for those pe's. just got a regular xt for $449, overclocked it higher than a pe no prob.
