Supply and demand. Bah! Put something glowy and fast and cool in front of my face and I'll buy it

which card is that beedubaya??

Visiontek ATI Radeon X800 Pro. We have had a lengthy discussion on this and it turned to a flame war. I found a solution temporarily in overclocking, but ATI shouldn't charge so much for a card that still can't beat the 6800GT even when its overclocked to the max.
