Radeon X800 XL – 512 MB review @ Guru3D

“The card my friends is an affordable and considering the high framerates it can accomplishing in games, one hell of an attractive piece of gaming gear. The little ogre was manufactured under codename R430 and is actually built on the smaller 0.11 micron fabrication process. Somewhat cheaper memory was used making the XL a very competing product. The XL is using roughly 2×500 MHz and that XT PE uses 2×590 MHz. When we go from 256 towards 512 Mb, does that make the product more expensive? Most certainly. And that might make this 512 MB product loose its mojo a little.”

GREAT review that was written in rush, but the reviewer had no choice. Definitely check it out and see if 512MB is needed, at Guru 3D.
