and why
Apparaently ATi is keeping the X700XT for themselves ... their retail partners only have access to X700Pros ... and knowing ATi .. the prices wont be reasonableare there any x700XTs for retail yet, or for a reasonable price? I thought ATI couldn't get anywhere near enough fabed so they are going to replace the

The X700 has 6 vertex shaders whilst the NV43s only have 3.i think you'd be better off with a 6600GT really, and i think they are cheaper. but if your an ATi fan i guess you might be stuck with the X700. i really don't like any of the X### cards cept for the X800, the rest are budget versions and don't perform very well next to nvidia's cheaper and better performing model like the 6600GT (or like Praetor said the 6800 if you can afford it).

Perhaps you should read again? As good as the NV43 is the 6600GT is no match for the 6800GTThe 6600gt is better than both of those.
