THe prices of the new cards are outrageous. With the X1300 Pro being the same price as a 6600GT. THe X1600XT, not even being able to beat a 6800GT for the same price. The X1800XL and X1800XT are the only cards that seem to be reasonably priced. IMHO The cards should be priced as followed [[Price to be sold for]
X1300 Hypermemory (32MB)-$50 [$70]
X1300 Hypermemory (128MB)-$60 [?]
X1300 128MB-$70 [~100]
X1300 Pro 256MB-$80-100 [$150]
These should be able to compete with the 6200s until nvidia comes out with a replacement. They are 4 pipelines.
X1600 Pro (128MB)-$100-130 [$200?]
X1600 XT (256MB)-$150 [$250]
These cards compete pretty well with the 6600GT. THese cards are 12-pipelines. Not so sure about x1600 Pro, could be 8-pipeline?
X1800XL(256MB)-350
X1800XT(256MB)-400
X1800XT(512MB)-450
These cards compete with the 7800GT and 7800GTXs and are comparable also to previous gen, 6800GTs and ultras. Hopefully, ati will release its R480 chips soon and be even better. These are 16-pipelines
