wow... thanks for all the arguing, it gives good points. first: the x1000 series runs at fp32 at all times, this info was supplied to me by [h]ardocp's "X1000 family preview article

I think that I will get the X1800XT 512 because it came out...
hey im getting a new comp, and am very confused on which is better... i look at hardocp and i think the gtx... then some other place is quoting it to be weaker by like 10fps. now i want HONEST opinions not stupid !!!!!! "DUH, ati be teh crappest". oh and i dont care about price at all...
