            damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn must be a nice card.

            $1100 is kinda pricey for a graphics card though

              I know, but this one is like "Special Edition" - limited production.
              Its faster than the regular versions.

                Ya, especially considering it retails for less than half of that. I don't think the person who posted that auction will see his $1100.

                  I just bought an ATI all in wonder and a 2nd monitor. I thought I was spending a lot this week on my computer and I got bought for like $500. Now I feel like I should go ahead and buy something else, lol.
                  SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                                I'd rather pay less than $500 for one that did make it to retail.

                                      yeah, but this one is faster the the regular retails.

                                      thats why people were bidding up to $1k on it.

                                          (MUCH better than eVGA, btw.)

                                          Core: 400MHz, Clock: 1.1GHz (Compared to your 450MHz/1.2GHz). With a heatsink like this you can easily overclock it to far beyond what you just paid over a grand for.

                                          Haha.

                                            I'd get a x800 myself.

                                              Its a regular 6800 Ultra. DarkJedi got Extreme Edition which is faster.

                                              x800 Platinum is crap

                                                    x800 Platinum is crap

                                                    Geforce 6800 Ultra can be run in dual mode http://www.nvidia.com/page/sli.html


                                                    Plus check out tte benchmarks:

                                                    Actually, if you look at some of the more recent benchmarks, the ATI X800 Platinum Edition is gaining ground on Nvidia's cards after a couple of driver updates.

                                                    Just wait until Half Life 2 comes out, we'll see who has the better benchmarks

                                                        Had a terrible experience with an ATI card once, I'll never ever use one again

                                                          I don't think that you know much about video cards because if you did, you'd know that the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro and the Radeon 9800 Pro whipped the floor with Nvidias cards when they came out, so they couldn't suck too bad.

                                                          I'll admit that the current cards from both companies are pretty comparable, you couldn't go wrong either way. I used to be an Nvidia guy, but once the Radeon 9700 Pro came out, ATI won me over and now I have my ATI X800 Platinum Edition and I couldn't be happier.

                                                            I know that someone is gonna bring up the ATI driver issues saying how they don't update their drivers. That was in the past and they surely learned their lesson. If you look at their website driver history, you'll see that they've been releasing new drivers almost monthly.

                                                                x800 platinum is expensive as fuck, and it still gets smoked by a simple geforce 6800 (not even ultra) in benchmarks
