ATi Radeon X1800, X1600 and X1300 are the three new graphic card series that ATi is about to launch within a couple of days and even if we still don’t know all the details we now have some information regarding the price of the new series. Since ATi will launch no less than three different series in different segments the difference in price is quite large, ranging from $79 up to $549, which will of course change when the card finally reach the shelves. At Hexus they have a complete list of 11 different cards ATI is expected to release next week.
| X1xxx xx | Memory | Price |
| X1800 XT | 512MB | $549 |
| X1800 XT | 256MB | $499 |
| X1800 XL | 256MB | $449 |
| X1600 XT | 256MB | $249 |
| X1600 XT | 128MB | $199 |
| X1600 Pro | 256MB | $199 |
| X1600 Pro | 128MB | $149 |
| X1300 Pro | 256MB | $149 |
| X1300 | 256MB | $129 |
| X1300 | 128MB | $99 |
| X1300 Hyper Memory | 128MB | $79 |
The high end X1800 XT with 512MB will of course be the most expensive card at $549 whch is considerably higher than GeForce 7800 GTX. But considering 7800 GTX was launched at $600 we expect prices to drop pretty fast to around nVidia’s level. If these are correct remains to see, but it seems ATi will update its entire series of graphic cards in one go.
