When ATI upgraded their RADEON X800 series of graphics card last December with the introduction of the RADEON X850 series, most of the attention was focused on the high-end RADEON X850 XT. Due to the poor availability of the former champs, the RADEON X800 XT, many were wondering if the same problems that plagued ATI previously had been solved with the latest iteration. From what we have seen, the upgrade seems to have paid off. ATI now has a product with the necessary firepower to match NVIDIA's relatively uncluttered but limited product family for every price range. But it also meant that many first time buyers would be confused by the range of model numbers available as in addition to the older RADEON X800 cards (which should die a natural death in the retail market), we now have the RADEON X850 PRO and X800 XL.
