PowerColor Radeon X800 GTO 16

The world of video cards has become crowded indeed. In days past, a user looking at a given brand of video card would have three, perhaps four models to choose from, each clearly delineated in terms of price and performance. In case you hadn't noticed, those days are over. For example, ATI now has at least two dozen separate model numbers to choose from, and by the time you factor in all the possible permutations of each model, such as amount of memory, all-in wonder or not, etc., it's easy for a user to get horribly confused. The situation is worst in the mid-to-high end market, where there can be literally dozens of choices that fall within a few dollars of each other. The card we're looking at today is from Powercolor, and is designated the X800 GTO 16. The X800 GTO is based on the X800XL, with the main difference being that four of the chip's 16 pixel pipelines have been disabled. However, the 16 in the Powercolor card's name is an indicator that this is not an ordinary GTO. We're going to find out exactly what this card has going for it, and if it appears to be destined for success.

Is it just me or is that the attempt to beat the 6800GS?


Not that it would be bad for the consumer to get all 16 pipelines

this card wipes the floor with 6600GT, but wonder what it'll do compared to the 6800GT/GS which is priced also in the $150-200 region
