The X series were the latest line of ATi cards that was meant to counter rival NVIDIA's GeForce 6 Series. At first, ATi released the X800 series aimed at the enthusiast market, the three models in the X800 series are the X800 Pro, the X800 XT and the X800 XT Platnium Edition, which is just an overclocked X800 XT. All are available in both AGP and PCI-Express form, except for the X800 Pro, which is available in only AGP form.
Later ATi released the X600 and the X300 which are all only avaliable in PCI Express form. Recently ATi also announced the X700 series, which should appear in stores shortly, it is also only available in PCI Express form.
When ATi released specifications for their X series, many users were surprised at the fact ATi had decided not to include support for shader model 3.0, as Nvidia had in their lineup of cards. ATi instead decided to use shader model 2.0b. It is also likely ATi will never release a shader model 3.0 card, and will stick with 2.0b until the release of shader model 4.0, or perhaps whatever comes next, example: shader model 3.0a.
Models, in order of performance, (from lowest to highest):
The X300 series is the PCI-Express equivalent of the Radeon 9600, it is just based on new hardware. The X300SE series is a PCI-Express equivalent of the Radeon 9600SE, and also just based on new hardware. Each of the series has the same set of features as the Radeon X models.
While the basic feature-set is identical to RV380, the RV370 core will be based on a 0.11 micrometre process.
The X600 Pro series is the PCI-Express equivalent of the Radeon 9600 Pro, but is based on new hardware.
The X600XT is the PCI-Express equivalent of the Radeon 9600XT with higher core and memory clocks, the top-end card of the X600 series.
The X700 series replaced the X600 in September 2004. The X700 series has a similar core and memory setup to the Radeon 9500 Pro, only clocked much higher and produced on a 0.11 micrometre process.
The X700XT is the fastest version of the X700 series and it performs comparably to the 9800XT.
