Since today you can order a PowerMac with a Radeon X850 XT card from Apple Store.



What's the difference between this card and the retail X800 XT card? The X850 is quite a bit cheaper. Will it be available seperately?

    Almost none. The GPU of the X850 is a redesign for easier production and is clocked a bit higher.

    I also am hoping to hear something from ATI now that Apple is offering this card. Perhaps ATI will lower the price on the X800 a bit, while offering the new X850 for the regular $499 price.
