Sapphire Radeon X800 XT Review

Sidney · 7th October 2004, 05:13

But, for those that are ready to make the jump to lightspeed, or are already there and are just waiting on a good videocard, then having a videocard with only 12 texture pipes is insane. You don't buy a corvette and slap on cheap tires from Sears. About the only thing I think Sapphire should have done here is make the X800 XT card the heart of it's Toxic line, not the Pro card. It's plum between Pro and Platinum in both price and performance, and is a card that would seriously benefit from the extra cooling and beefier name. There is about a 50 dollar difference between Toxic and XT, and even a new system builder might pause at that. It's a good card, but it's not swank like the Toxic.
