ATI X800

See Toms Hardware Guide for the review:

ATi's X800 Pulls Off Another Coup in the Graphics Performance War

THG says x800 is (marginally) better than NVIDIA 6800.
Interesting result as the basic design is the 9700 Pro enhanced.  The new ATI card doesn't require additional power like the 6800 and runs cooler.  A slick piece of engineering which will generate profit and time to design the next product.

heard that ATI's card's flicker when starting up FS?

Mine does not, it may be a certain driver problem, i have used Cat 4.3 and 4.5 with FS9 and had absolutely no problems.

ATI had a rep of not updating drivers prior to the 9700.  Been monthly for some time.  I had significant far scene rendering problems with CFS3 that were resolved with 4.4.  It looked like an MS problem but was an ATI driver problem.
