Default Sapphire X800 GTO2 PCIe VGA Card

We have a new review up on a remarkable limited edition card from Sapphire called the GTO2. Would you like a X850 XT performance level card for half the price of a X850 XT? I know I would...


Check it out here.

Talking This card is an OC dream!

GK
You really put this card to the test, time and time again. Thank you for being so thorough!

Letting go of this card is hard to do but it is going to a good cause. Sapphire requested that the card go into our Case of Hope project currently under way and I wouldn't have it any other way. Be sure to check out our Case of Hope mod project which revolves around the theme of Breast Cancer Awareness and is headed by our PimpRig Daily Disturbance writer, Helen "Foe" Schloss-Griffin. This is the last major component required to get the PC running and is in good company along with some excellent DDR2 Pro RAM from Corsair as well as an Intel Dual Core CPU and motherboard combo. Once completed this case will be auctioned off will all proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

This review will be linked in the worklog as well.

Thank you to Sapphire for this extremely generous donation, and GlitterKill.

Looks like a sweeet card. I scored my 7800GTX today for $210 candian after trading in my 6600GT.
I love being friends with the owner of the biggest computer store in my province

I could go SLI! w0000t



Great review, im trying to explain to my friend the ability to flash his x850Pro. But Ati is putting out some damn nice cards at a nice price point.

Hello everyone!
This Card actually does have a free full version Game coming with it!
It comes with a Code that onlocks one of the 4 one Hour Demoversions on the Dvd.
So you can choose which Game you want to keep.
Very nice Review btw, i´m getting one as well.

I got my Card just today it looks great!!
@Dex: But there should be a Dvd in the Package calld "Sapphire Select"
mine comes with Prince of Persia: Worrior Within, Brothers in Arms: Road to hill 30,
Tony Hawk's Underground 2 and Richard Burns Rally.
On the Dvd-cover there is a Code for unlocking one of the Games listed.
I think i got 2 codes by accident
But i´ll have to wait for the rest fo my 939-Sys to run the Card

EDIT: I just had a nother look at the Packet and saw a Stick saying that there are 2 free Games includet with this Card.
At least with the European Version...

Nope, they're was just a Guild Wars trial disc and a driver disk with nothing but drivers on it.

Im not bothered, I RMA'd mine after it went screwy and still have my two 6600GTs

Oh, and welcome to PR brother! Nice to have some more European pimps around.

Thumbs up

Finally arrived in the mail today! This card rocks! There is literally no way to compare it to my previous video card... the Geforce 5200. That's not a typing error, Fifty-Two-Hundred. Took a while to find a retailer that would ship to Canada, but eventually found one.

And the main reason for this post: Good news regarding the availability:

Though I'm new to Pimprig, I'd just like to take this moment to say Great site, remarkably in depth reviews, and thanks for pointing me to this gem!
