2005 has been a pretty rough year for ATI, especially when it comes to delivering new products. The year started off with nearly a top-to-bottom makeover of new products. ATI launched five new graphics cards: the RADEON X800 and X800 XL, which were based on ATI’s budget-oriented R430 VPU, and three high-end parts based on their enhanced R480 chip: the RADEON X850 PRO, RADEON X850 XT, and RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition. At launch ATI promised prices ranging from $200 all the way up to $500, with each card significantly upping the ante in performance for its price segment..
