This morning ATi released their new line of video cards, the X1K (X1000) series of video cards. Due for availability on the 10th of this month, the mid-level version of the X1K will carry a price tag of $499, with their high-end X1800 Pro and X1800 XT versions coming out at the end of November. For more information on what I think is a monster of a card (which is saying a lot from an nVidia fan), please see ATi's gaming cards site.

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section.

i'm also looking forward to this launch for two reasons: first, i think i can trust ATI to put out a great card, and second, it might mean lower prices on the GeForce 7800 series (in case the X1K's suck). the only thing that gets me is why ATI snubbed people out on the pixel pipes. rumors were originally stating that it was supposed to get 32 but instead we get 16??? well, i guess benchmarks will tell all eventually, but i still think ATI snubbed everyone out on that one. otherwise, i'm definately looking forward to this. :D

 

and i think this thread can stay here. ;)

..... it might mean lower prices on the GeForce 7800 series....

 

I'm planning on getting a GeForce 7800 soon, so this is awsome news. I might have to hold off for a week or two and see if the price drops.

 

With my luck, it will drop a day or two after I buy it. :lol:

Interesting. I am planning to get a new card at the end of the year. I'll keep an eye on this one as well as on the GeForce 7800. But I may also end up buying a GeForce 6800 series. Anyone has found the power supply requirements for this new Ati card?
