Looks like ATI is the first to bring out a graphic card with 512MB of video ram (wo/Crossfire)  with their new Radeon X1800 XT. They go for $550US, so if u really wanna have the best vid card out there (and ready to blow that kinda cash), this is the card for you.

Cool
But 550 usd Thats almost 50 - 65 % of a pc's cost

Actually, im pretty Sure why ATI wasnt is to allow Nvidia sales or somehting like that get better than they have been. , so im sure literally ATI brang it out first but let Nvidia bring it out to boost there sales as it hasnt been that good from what i have/had read i htink on news in neowin awhile ago

Can't  they offer a price lower than that?

somehow i dont think so,  or wait a few years for the price to be cheaper

ya wouldnt bother getting a 128MB card, i think mines a 256MB card, x700 Pro ATI

I really want to get one of the new 512Mb RAM video cards, it would be awesome! Cool thing is, I might actually have the money to buy one in a few months... Got to upgrade my RAM first though!

Is the ATi Radeon 9800 Pro worth getting?
