Default Aiw X800xl

I was going to go with a nice little 7600GS or GT if I could afford it but Microcenter just started a very nice deal on a AIW X800XL Card for $130. That would put right around the price of a low end 7600GT. How would these two fair against each other?Does anyone have any experiance with the card itself? Im mostly curious about overclocking and tv quality. Most of the time Ill only be playing Battlefield 2 and FEAR but I would like to be able to play at 1600*1200 with most of the things turned up(no aa or af).

I am not sure if they OC all that great, seems like Khellandros wasn't very impressed (Search for X800XL)but with 16 pipes, it will certainly play games well, expecially FEAR...and the AIW part is major plus.

We also find ATI's slightly faster X1800 XL, which in turn is also in the process of being phased out in favor of the marginally slower X1800 GTO

The 7600GT may be faster in some games, and I know it has a lot more OC headroom.

Quote:
The GeForce 7600 GT is about as fast as the Radeon X1800 GTO. However, the new Nvidia chip is cheaper and also runs cooler than its ATI counterpart

An X800XL won't be able to comfortably play those games at 1600x1200.
