GeCube Radeon X1800 GTO 256MB Graphics Card Reviewed

HardwareZone reviews the GeCube Radeon X1800 GTO 256MB (US$249), a PCI-E graphics card that features the R520 core, 500 MHz core clock, 500MHz (1000MHz DDR3) memory clock, 12 Rendering (Pixel) Pipelines, 256-bit DDR Memory Bus, CrossFire Multi GPU Technology support, and 2x Dual-Link.

First, let us say that ATI has more than satisfied its original goal of developing a new mid-range alternative that can compete with the GeForce 6800 GS. The performance of the Radeon X1800 GTO was quite competitive with the newer GeForce 7600 GT, a card that soundly beats the GeForce 6800 GS in all departments. The benchmarks showed the Radeon X1800 GTO winning and losing its fair share, with the edge going to ATI when more graphically intensive resolutions and settings were enabled. This was the memory bandwidth advantage of the 256-bit wide memory bus on the Radeon X1800 GTO. [HardwareZone]
