Meh, not like if i even read reviews for it and saw compairison i would begin to understand the power it has. My baseline is so asscue that i simply cant look at stats anymore and be like "hmm indeed this is impressive". Now days its the assumption that whatever more extreme initial, after a number combo, is the greatest card ever made. They may actually start making up letters to help define there products. Right now you could show me stats compairing a x800 pro, xt, xl, 850 etc; vs a 6800, gt, etc and a 7800gtx and all i could say is... Yes, those numbers are big. Then if i were in the market i would buy the best comprimise of big numbers. What ever happened to the good old days when a company didnt modify there product then re-release it under the same name with a few letters behind it... No the product revisions were worth an entirly new number, or name. My god, how simple that could be.

x800
x850 (pro)
x900 (xt)
x950 (xl)
X1000 (the new r520 thingy)

Screw the letters. Why do we need 8 versions of what amounts to the same card? Oh you added 2.345302 pixel shader support to the X800 L9HF3 while the x800 HLTRN only has 1.3535674, i see now. Fuck that, revise the card and improve it enough to warrent a new number. This XT, Xl buisness is for the birds. I no longer know what im ranting about, it seems to be just pure hate and spite at this point.
