nice review

but i didnt see any x1600 pro numbers so couldnt compare and no overclocked benchmarks to how much faster it would make it, one test would be enough after OC

Very informative and relative to me, I would like to manage to get the 823mhz out of the memory, I can get 760 (so far)

Totally agree with the "get this and wait for dx10"

better off with a x850pro, but you wont have sm3.0...

Great topic guy
I think this card is inferior to a Ati X850 XT right?
