ATI is just rushing out a 512MB card as a gimic. Don't get one of these cards, just wait for the next generation. ATI needs to learn that its technology is old, and quit trying to make people think its not by adding awe-effect things like 512MB which has no use with that old technology anyways. Just watch, Unreal Engine 3 will run like crap on the X850 512MB much like Doom 3 runs like crap on the 9800XT, the card that you were envied if you had just last year.
