This X800GTO is considerably cheaper however listed online at $115USD from Newegg, $70USD less than the 16 pixel pipe version.

While this does look and sound interesting, it’s not really practical as a full features SLI setup, as there are limited expansion options. When Quad SLI makes its market debut, this motherboard will shine, but for now we need a mainstream board to handle the more sane hardware enthusiasts out there and this is it.

With the launch of the Radeon X1900XT and X1900XTX last month, CrossFire cards of this new Radeon series have already popped up at a few places but aren’t in full swing as most people would like. Today thanks to our friends over at HIS in Hong Kong we have got ourselves an X1900 master card along with an X1900XTX as a slave card.

Its performance is currently faster than almost anything you can get your hands on and it's still in a single slot solution design, unlike most of the other X1800 or X1900 products out there, which also makes for much easier installation into your system.

We contacted nVidia about this and they suggested doing tests using 8X and 16X AA and thus we went back and benched all four games using that setting as well. Besides Quake4, we really do not see the X16 posting higher results in anything else. In fact, Serious Sam 2 and Call of Duty 2 consistently showed the older nForce4 SLI performaing better in most of the benchmarks.

It is based on Radeon X1800 core, but brings a few new features that are worth mentioning. In this article we will explore the main differences between Radeon X1900 and Radeon X1800 families.

After all there's literally hundreds of millions of systems based upon the old standard still in use today. The 7800GS AGP Extreme Edition is positioned to take advantage of the fact that the last ATI AGP high-end card, the X850XT PE is still based upon SM 2.0. One thing that the card has going for it is the availability. The 6800 Ultra and 6800GT are barely available today in the market, being at their end-of-life cycle. Overall, it seems the new king of AGP has arrived and XFX has a solid product here.

Enter the subject of today's review, the EVGA GeForce 6800GS.

However this new card technology means that most users will need to upgrade their motherboard to be able to use PCIe and as a result typically the CPU, and RAM as well.
So the answer was for cards to be produced with the AGP format, this allows user to afford an upgrade without needing to overhaul their system. Full Story at pchardware.co.uk | |  | |  | | |
