This is a false statement. You stop overclocking when you get to the highest speed without artifacts, and in the case of the X1800XT, it's pretty high. You don't even know the maximum safe temperature for the X1800XT. For my 7800GT, it's 115c. The 256mb 7800gtx and 512mb x1800xt are pretty much on par, except the X1800XT has a few features that the GTX dosn't, like you can use HDR with AA, it has AVIVO (video de-blocking), hardware h.264 decode, and it's 90nm. And as it was stated earlier, the X1800XT makes up for it's lack of pipelines in clock speeds, and it overclocks very well to boot.Flanker said:

the X1800 and the 256MB 7800 GTX are about equal. they perform better in their own areas.
however the 256MB 7800 GTX is cheaper

Yes if you get a crossfire motherboard. Like this one:Kdar said:

And you also need to get the X1800 crossfire master card (you only need one -- the other can be whichever one you like):

There are three things that stop you from overclocking any further; Too hot, too much voltage, or at the limit. Whichever comes first. In the case of the X1800XT, the "too hot" always comes first. I don't know about you, but I don't want my videocard running 105°C...
