Radeon X850 PRO Vs. Radeon X850 XT

Timechange01 · Dec 27, 2005, 05:07 AM

I need some help. I would like to know how much different the XT is from the PRO because Im not sure if it's worth spending the extra money for the XT. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Definately worth the extra cash. An X850 Pro is a 12 pixel pipe card. An X850XT is a 16 pipe card.

12 < 16

Lol while I was waiting for replies Ive been researching for hours and found out that if Im going to use a card for the whole year of 2006 it might as well be the XT-PE.

I have an AGP slot unfortunately.

I got the sealed brand new Built By ATI Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition for $299 plus $15 for shipping.

Sounded like an ok deal to me so I went for it. Was that smart or should I have gone with something else?

It was a good choice. No sense in spending money on a whole new system if you don't need to
