Sidney | 30th September 2005 21:14 | SAPPHIRE Radeon X800 GTO² 256MB PCI-Express A quick BIOS flash unlocks the dormant rendering quad that's not available on regular 'GT/GTOs, and turns SAPPHIRE's GTO² into a full 16 fragment processor card. The enthusiast can then further gain by raising the card's mediocre 400MHz core and 980MHz clocks. All in all, with a little work, we can't see why a default SAPPHIRE X800 GTO² 256MB card won't function as, say, a Radeon X850 XT or even the XT PE version, thereby saving yourself up to £100 for a little work. Add in a couple of these cards, preferably unlocked and overclocked, in to ATI's soon-to-be-released CrossFire multi-GPU technology for some serious framerate fun. http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=1636&page=9 |
