ATI Mainstream C/P Value Star ¡V GeCube X700PRO AGP Test
 

Since NV launched high end SLI, middle end 6600 and entry 6200, I haven¡¦t bee using ATI VGA cards for long time. The time the principle is GeCube X700PRO, the middle end product and not selling yet.

The Packing


All accessories, nothing missed


The front side with huge copper heat sink, same as 9800/X800 series.


The back side with huge copper heat sink in most area


Not use ATI original Aluminum Housed capacitors, but Sanyo capacitors are also in high quality


One more shot



Test Configuration
AMD K8 939 3000+ OC 289X9=2.6G
MSI K8N NEO2
GSKILL 512LA
GeCube X700PRO AGP
MAXTOR 30GB
TEAC 512EB
DELTA300W

Default Clock 425/475

3DMARK2001SE&2003


3DMARK2005


OC to 465/540

3DMARK2001SE&2003


3DMARK2005


Advantage
1. Quiet in operation mode
2. With PCI-E and AGP versions
3. Default clock can reach 6600GT 3D ability

Disadvantage
1. OC ability is worse than 6600GT

The best thing is ATI launched the high C/P product in middle end to compete with NV 6series.
I hope the price can be lower than 6600GT to make ATI reverse the weak position in this segment.

BTW, I have another GeCube 9550GU.
The cooling looks great.
I will find time to do the test.

Hi there, send me what you don't want to keep.:)
