[H]ardNews 9th Edition

512MB X850 Pictures :

EliteBastards have a few pictures of what they say is a 512MB Radeon X850. Looks like every other 256MB version of the X850XT out there, so who knows.

We've just received the first images of the 512MB variant of ATI's Radeon X850 board - Nothing too exciting if you've seen a lot of 256MB Radeon X850s, but here they are nonetheless.

*Update* Apparently you guys killed the link to the pictures (some of you can't access the site). Thankfully Hexus also has some smaller versions of the same pictures posted too.

ATi Radeon X850XT PE:

While we are on the subject of X850XT cards, have a look at this ATi Radeon X850XT PE review posted at ClubOC. You can see our review for comparison purposes here

Looking back at our tests on the X800XT, X800 Pro, 9800XT and so on, it's easy for me to say that the X850XT Platinum Edition is the best and the fastest video card we have ever seen. The card has everything any computer enthusiast could ever want.
