Best in class from the looks of it. The X800 was pretty cool but was usually a 128MB card and had very look clockspeeds, the X800GT was great but was an 8 pipe part. The X800Pro is nice but it's not that cheap still and is often an AGP 8x component for better or for worse. So now you can get a 256-bit, 256Mb GDDR3, 12pipe, VIVO GTO for under $200. It's basically exactly like the Pro but PCIe and for less. Get this sweet card here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814142052
The GTO2 version is around $216 but uses the X850XT core and a simple BIOS change will unlock the 4 extra pipes for a total of 16, no that's a crazy deal.
