ah, with all due respect, yeah, price, you cant compare a 512 card to a 256 one, and try super high res and say, ah, the 512 won, duh! ofcourse it will win, the xt is 150$ higher, and X2 the mem, there is a reason nvidia didnt bring out the 512 yet, a. no body needs it b. they waiting for ati to bring it so they can have a counter weapon, i dont care what has a higher speed, but what have a better performance per buck, and with all due respect nvidia kicked ati's ass with that, i had a 9800, that series rocked, but taking out a card, with the same perforamance, a lot higher tag 5 months later than the compatition, thats failure.
