hi, i have new dfi for my system and i need to buy a new gfx card (pci express).
i can buy tul-power color radeon but i have doubts between the x850xt or t850xt pe
the difference is 520/540 of the xt and 540/590 for the pe, did it worth the extra 60$
there's a oc difference between the xt and pe :confused:
or maybe its better to buy another x800xt - pci express ?
so many question ...

if you want to oc, x850xt pe is NOT the card of choice. with my wc, my x850xt pe can only get 585/615. You might have same, if not better, oc with just xt and save your 60$ on something else
x800xt is not a bad choice either. x850 runs quite hot compared to x800 counterparts. plus, you'll have better chance finding x800 stock than x850...

x850 runs quite hot compared to x800 counterparts.strange. i read in a recent review that the layout of the chip was rearranged to avoid hotspots and it runs cooler (esp in 2d mode)
