ATI have released an upgrade to their X800 line of graphics cards. Following the predictable trend of graphics board makers as they release new architecture, a more efficient model is usually brought out a few months down the line to squeeze some more juice out of the core. Nvidia are expected to follow suite with their 6800 line of gpus but no word as of yet.
Extreme Tech have put up a review of the X850 pitting it against the latest benchmarking utilities.
Despite being a disappointingly modest improvement over the X800 XT PE, ATI's new card secures their place as king of the graphics hill. Naturally, we expect this position to be challenged sooner rather than later with nVidia's GeForce 6800 "kicker" product, probably called the GeForce 6900 or 6950 or something similar.
