I want to buy an x800 xt. I can found the saphire card for $479.00. It was brought to my atention that there are 2 versions of the x800 xt on platinum and one not. The difference is the platinum has faster clock speeds and video in. I don't care about video in. Also all the platinum cards are on back order for a few weeks and I already have the money for a new card. THe platinum cars are an extra $100. Is it worth getting the non pltinum, over the platinum? Can I over clock the non platinum to a platinum with an after market cooler?. How about getting a cheaper 6800 GT? I heard image quality is worse, but performance is increased? What are your thoughts guys?
