In a real dilemma guys.
The GT is selling for a clool 299 for just today and
the x850xt is selling for a 259!!!
Please give me your inputs (not an emotional one but a logical one - keeping loyalties aside :D )

X850XT FTW!!!1111 But seriously, that's an amazing deal for the X850.

X850 XT but it won't have SM3.0 support and half the games will not show HDR rendering which IMO adds a lot to the immersion in a game.

So did I.
I placed the order.
AMD64 3700+
OCZ Gold 1Gb RAM (2-2-2-5! Sweet Edition :D )
eVGA 7800 GT (256MB GDDR3, 470 MHz, 1100 MHz ram clock)
Thermaltake Big Typhoon
Arctic Siver
What I already will have by the time the above come home from newegg??
DFI Lanparty nF4 Ultra - D (which I will mod into SLI-D :cool: )
Antec truepower 550
Antec P180
*edit*
Surprisingly I saw three versions of the same eVGA card. One clocked at 450, the other at 460 and the one I bought @ 470. Donno what newegg was up to. Its very decieving and to the common eye all look the same!! I just found that the final time I was running a check before confirming and then changed it the the 470 one (though it was costlier by $10 ).
