Couple of frames or so according to this review, dunno whats up there though as the x1800 XT is more than double the performance, absolutely hammers the x800 XT, and the XL is not that much slower than the XT i think.

Should in theory be double the performance, or atleast 80%.
Depends on game but its only 10% slower than a X1900XT.
I'd get it.

The x1800xl is certainly not anywhere near 80% faster than the x800xt at all. In fact, if you look at this ATi Tray Tools bechmark you will see that it is very close performance wise to the x800xt, and against compared with a x850xt, there is virtually no performace gain at all. 
Also confirms the similarities of the x1950 Pro and x1800xt

3D Mark 2005, although my figure are a little off as my results are based on 6k from a 6800U and 14.5k from a X1900XTX 
I went from am 850XT to a 1900xt and it hasn't made a huge difference.
GTL/GTR2 no real FPS gain but can run much Higher res with more AA.
BF2/rFactor it did seem to help by about 20%.
In 3Dmark06 it went from 1500 to 4796 btw an 8800 take it to 5700 in 3dmark06.

The X1800XL IIRC was quite a dissapointing card. In some scenarios it was barely quicker than the 7600GT which when you look at the specs on paper is ridiculous.
I think a lot of this is due to the R520's design which required high clocks to maximise efficiency which in the lower clocked XL didn't work at all.
Personally the minimum upgrade from a X800XT I would do would be to a X1800XT / X1950pro.

wow. That chart confirms again what a pile of junk the X16xx series is.
Nice to see the X800XT PE doing so well.
To OP: I went from a X850XTPE to X1800XT and I did notice quite a difference, but not really a revelation. Keep the X800XT and perhaps give a little overclock for some more frames.
