[hallo]

ok, im a little confused at the moment...
im looking at getting a PCI-E GPU, ATI all the way, because its all i know, i dont care which is actually better (ive seen some of the arguments on this site about it )
so heres my confusion:

theres too many different ranges of card
to begin with i thought the X850 was just a really old GPU seeing as theres now an X1950... how wrong was i?
im by no means an idiot when it comes to computers, but i just need to get the gist of this range.

i was looking at an X700 and was wondering how it would compare to an X1600... any ideas? because the X700 was like £30 i assumed it was crappy, yet the X850 costs a bomb!

would it be a high end GPU if i had the X700 working in crossfire?
long story short:
whats better, X700 or X1600?
and is it a big difference in performance?

I'm going to refer you to a graphics card guide I made for some of the forums I am a member at.
Here's the link.
That might help alleviate your confusion.
Let me know what you think of it.
