Well i said i would hold judgment until i had seen the new ATI contender. All i can say is that if i were upgrading it would be the X800 XT. The 6850 U that was just anounced (yes a 6850 already) seems like a "holy shit look what they accomplished, hurry cover our ass a bit" card. Offering less hastle to install, IE not needing 2 power connectors, and a smaller design ATI won from the get go. I dont much care if the card is a 2 slot design, but i do care about needing to upgrade a power supply as well as purchase the card.

Highly impressive offering from ATI.
