Mr Ham Cake Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814142052 its the"beefer" version ofx800gt, but its the x800GTO, like the car i guess, but it looks like the best card anyone could get for under $200, bummer part is, I've never heard of thisbrand. Connect3d, but none-the-less, looks pretty sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamikaze_Badger Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 12 pipelines, very nice core clock, and 256 bit memory interface... I'd buy one if I had the money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkev715 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Performance-wise its about the same as a X800 pro. Sapphire has a GTO^2 than can be modded (BIOS flash) to get X800XL/X850XT performance. TechPowerUp wrote the article on how to acomplish this. Basically they use a R480 core that isn't hard-locked and has 4 pixel pipelines disabled. Once the Bios is flashed you basically have the performance of a X800XL (X800XL uses the R430 core @ 400/1000). Now depending on how far you can OC the card you can get around X850XT speeds as well.

Ostate21 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Man if you can get it to unlock the other 4 pipes with a pretty good success this would be a killer card for the money! Just wish I had PCI-Express. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 same here, but then again id rather have the x850 it self Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ostate21 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Yeah I do have to say I love my card but I always need something else to play with and that card looks like it would be fun for benching! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeo55 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 (edited) Yeah the x800 GT is ATI's better version of the popular 6600GT. It performs A LOT better. There is also an improved version of the gt which is the gto and IT has about the same performance as the x800 pro but its cheaper to make.

swifty11212 Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 same performance as the x800pro?!?! show me bechies please, last time i checked, 8 pipes rarely outbenchies 12 and above. The GTO (not the GT *looks @ crazy*) does look promising though but thats a diff story, besides there pci-e, not agp so for agp cards from ati the x800pro is the BEST bang for the buck.
