Wow Newegg must have gone nuts. I can uderstand ebayers doing this kind of fleecing, but a retailer like the Egg? Cmon, has someone lost their bearings.

 

[Dillusion]

well i guess its not neweggs fault, its the push and pull of supply and demand, but you cant knock them for it. their prices usually go back to MSRp a week or two after the product is released or after they get a good flow of the product. thats much better than e-tailers who keep it at 900$ forever

I understand the supply and demand pull, but newegg fails to do this hiking on memory, processors, etc as badly as they do on vid cards.

How does it rank with the x800 x/t??

 

[-(Xyphox)-]

Looks like an x800 x/t with an bigger cooling fan.....

 

[-(Xyphox)-]

Bump,
This worth it? or x800 x/t the same??

 

[-(Xyphox)-]

Why not spend two minutes and figure it out yourself?

112 / 105.5 = 1.06x

That is, in HL2, the X850 XT PE is 1.06 times faster than the X800XT vanilla. I'll let you be the judge as to whether it's worth it.

DEF NOT WORTH IT! Its an X800XT with a bigger cooler and speeds OCed like 50MHz. Just go with something older.
