ATI Radeon x800 GT Review

So before we see the launch of the upcoming high-end R520 and R580 graphics cards ATI released something price competitive and definitely has got something there that can compete with the GeForce 6600 GT. In fact in some cases it can even get close to the 12 pipe GeForce 6800. Then again .. still no Shader Model 3 is present as this is once more a refresh product and although I’m not sure on this there’s likely no Crossfire option which is a very strong point for the 6600 GT SLI. I am getting a little puzzled though. At this point in time there are so many x800/x850 products out there that quite frankly the average consumer does not have a clue anymore what the difference is.

This looks to be a fantastic competitor to the 6600GT, as long as they price it the same. The card performs better in most tests than the 6600GT, so maybe ATI did something right here. Check out the full in-depth look over at Guru3D.
