I recently wondered what all this hoopla was about with the new X850's from ATI. Once again it's the common case of 'oh look new hardware, MUST BUY!!' and because something is freshly released it MUST BE PURCHASED. Apparently a lot of people think it just completely dominates over all other cards, but it really doesn't.
Check out this little article:

hardly any performance gains over the X800XT which by the end the guy makes a smart decision on the fact that you'd be paying $50 - $100 more for this 'new card' which barely outperforms it.
Once again I think people need to quit jumping on the newest things that are released and thinking that you gotta have it just like AMD64's and PCI-E based motherboards.
