ATI's Radeon X2800XT MonsterIt seems like ATI and Nvidia bounces back and fourth as far as who has the best video cards. Nvidia had taken the lead a while ago and ATI seem to pretty much hang back. Now it seems like ATI is ready to take its turn on top again, at least for a few months, with the new Radeon X2800XT.

The kicker, is that this new offering from ATI is said to be a Mac exclusive, only offered in the soon to be released Mac Pros (rumored). PC gamers miffed everywhere I’m guessing. ATI’s Radeon X2800XT is said to have a gig of ram and will run at 800mhz, which is clearly clocked higher than anything out today….even Nvidia’s 8800gtx. As we all know, Macs aren’t really the platform you would get if you were looking for gaming goodness but there are a lot of other things that Macs are good..maybe even the best platform to use that would love the graphical power that the X2800XT will bring (photo and video editing etc).

As far as price, there isn’t any information yet, and I suspect that there will end up being a version of the X2800XT sold for the PC eventually.
