Is there a reason why the X850 XT wasn't even mentioned? NewEgg has the card right now for $209-$219 (PCI-E) which looks to be a tremendous deal. Isn't it supposed to be even faster than a 6800 Ultra, which was mentioned?

My question is why would anyone buy an X1800XT 512MB part when for ~$25 more they can get an X1900XT?
Is it just me or the 7800GTX 512 (around 900$USD) is extremely overpriced in comparison to the X1900XTX (around 600$USD)? Seems to me Nvidia will be in trouble if the don't lower thoses prices quickly.
I think it's a little soon to declare Nvidia "in trouble" over momentary pricing of a bleeding edge card that's been in rare-to-none availability status. That said, yes the ATI card is the better deal for the moment.

Surprised no one caught on to the eVGA combo deal at Monarchcomputer.com ...
eVGA NF4 Mobo w/ SLI & eVGA 7800GT for $360.xx
Dirt Cheap IMHO... if we weren't so damn close to AMD AM2 kit I would be all over that...

No X1800XT's are listed and a X800XL is still considered high-end?Le Québécois - Monday, February 6, 2006 - link
Look closer..Every X1800 product with 512mb of ram IS an XT, not XL
