Summary
The ATI Radeon 9800XT brings speed and stability to older favorites as well as the newest gaming titles. At a current price of $400 or more, the card might be too expensive for most users to consider, but as is often the case with computer hardware, today's king of the hill is in tomorrow's bargain bin. This may very well be what we see with the 9800XT in the next few weeks. The price for the 9800XT certainly will be reduced in the coming weeks with the release of a new generation of graphics cards, although how much we can't be sure. If you are in the market for a high-end graphics card, we suggest you don't make a decision for a few weeks. Take a look at the prices of the next generation of ATI and NVIDIA processors, and how they perform compared to the 9800XT. They most certainly will be an exponential improvement over the 9800XT, but with a price perhaps more than $100 cheaper than the latest and greatest, the 9800XT just might be the best buy. As it currently stands, the ATI 9800XT is a blazing fast graphics card that smokes the current competition.
