Re: Video Card Question

The 8800GTS DESTROYS the X1650PRO...like there isn't a comparison. The 8800GTS is one of the fastest cards out to date while the X1650PRO is an aging card that isn't all that powerful anymore.

Re: Video Card Question

yep, strangely though xbox 360 uses only an 512mb x1650Pro. But it has 3 CPU cores though...

Xbox360 GPU is called Xenos and it is much more powerful than X1650Pro

Re: Video Card Question

designed by ATI called the Xenos or R500, why would they call it R500?

Re: Video Card Question

The XENOS is based off the X1800XT I believe

Re: Video Card Question

Yes...the X1650PRO is so much less powerful than the 8800GTS it's not even funny...
