    looking at the specs it seems it is? i dont get the whole ATI numbering? ive always used a nvidia geforce. I may be able to go up to 90-100 for my next PCIe card

    stick with the 1600pro

    X850pro costs 140

    1600pro costs 90

    X850 is the last gen high end card,
    1600 is the new gen low to midrange card
