Actually the HL2 test is the only one where the card showed any improvement over the 256 MB version. Otherwise the performance of the 512 MB card was at par with the 256 MB card despite costing 150$ more. At this price (450$) you can buy a X850XT which outperforms the 512 MB X800XL. So it makes no sense to buy this card.
