Graphics Card Sales

I was doing some research recently into graphics cards, the current top specification boards at what prices. I looked at ATI’s best offering the radeon 4870 x2 priced around 360+ mark. Then I thought about looking at my current but old graphics card the x800 xt pe. The x800 xt pe was basically the xt with some manufacturer overclocking, little did I know that after years of having the card they were known for over heating! After installing a third party heat sink I was good to go, but for how long? Well taking the current version of directx is around 10/ 10.1 It wasn’t a matter of overheating but the actual capabilities of the graphics card.

Anyway before I carry on going on about my hardware wish list I wanted to point out the current price of the x800 xt pe! I found the card for 350 GBP. Was this a mistake? I cant see this as value for money!
