I was wondering why they took the 800 and not the 850.
BTW: The real new card comes out end of summer - mid winter. supposently it has 32 pipelines and a sack full with weed so you can use those pipes right away

Maybe they were already working on this before they released the 850, apparently the 800 had a few bugs so they brought out the 850 and added abit of clockspeed aswell, who knows.

You should read some reviews though. I would advise buying one with 256 mb. Difference in performance is one or two percent, difference in cost is about 40 percent. ;)

the next card was ALWAYS only 2-5% stronger than the last. There was never a card that outbeats the last by a milestone.
I rather wait half a year for the real new card.
