Sapphire X800XL 512MB

Bigger is Always Better" is the blurb for the new Radeon X800xl, 512MB edition.
Well we at the Bleedinedge know that isn't necessarily true. However we were
very interested when Sapphire sent us a new card with a 512MB frame buffer.
Those of us that have seen the 256MB version, couldn't help but be impressed on
it's price/performance ratio. The 512MB version carries a hefty £60 premium
over its sibling, putting it firmly in the price bracket of the 6800GT, and
nearing the cheap end of the X850 range. To justify this premium it will need
to show an improvement over the 6800GT at high resolutions with high detail,
else the X800XL 256MB version will prove to be the card of choice in this
sector.
