1)are people selling the x1300 right now?
2)what do you want AGP/PCI-e, as it might be a while till x1300 hits the market in AGP in bulk, but right now the x700pro is out
3)both are good cards
NO CONTEST.. the x700pro slaughters the new x1300.
The x1300 is a basic graphics card.. it has 4 pipes, slower clocks but more features. It is really just a step up from your basic onboard video and has more features. If you are looking to game, go with the x700 (its a middle end gaming card). If you are going to use it for Photoshop/movies/anything BUT gaming, I would go with the x1300.
