iam thinking or purchasing the following graphics cards an ati x800 pro or the x800 xt i just want to know wot is the main difference between the 2 and wether it is worth spending a lille bit more to get the x800 xt?
the XT has more pipelines (16 as opposed to 12) and is clocked higher too i believe. I think its worth the extra cost but the trouble I dont know where you can actually get your hands on one at the moment. If you manage to find one then can you let me know where you can get it.
pro: Chipset/Core Speed: ATI RADEON X800 PRO/475MHz Memory/Effective Speed: 256MB GDDR3/900MHz xt: Chipset/Core Speed: ATI Radeon X800 XT/520MHz Memory/Effective Speed: 256MB GDDR3/1120MHz
The X800 XT PE is clocked at 520/1120MHz - has 16 rendering pipelines - 256MB GDDR3 on a 256-bit memory interface - Peak Fill Rate - 8320 Mpixels/sec - Peak Memory bandwidth - 35.8GB/s The X800 XT is clocked at 500/1000MHz - has 16 rendering pipelines - 256MB GDDR3 on a 256-bit memory interface - Peak Fill Rate - 8000 Mpixels/sec - Peak Memory Bandwidth - 32.0GB/s X800 PRO is clocked at 475/900MHz - has 12 rendering pipelines - 256MB GDDR3 on a 256-bit memory interface - Peak Fill Rate - 5700 Mpixels/sec - Peak Memory bandwidth - 28.8GB/s The majority of X800 XT's sold by retailers are actually X800 XT PE's so check the clock speeds before purchasing
