Gigabyte GV-RX18T512V-B Turbo Force Edition

Gigabyte’s version of the Radeon X1800 XT 512MB testifies to its verve and expertise, as it is one of the few selected partners that has the blessings from ATI, an unprecedented move by the chipmaker, to overclock its Radeon X1800 XT 512MB. The result is the Gigabyte GV-RX18T512V-B Turbo Force Edition (Gigabyte GV-RX18T512V-B Turbo for short in this article). Despite its nondescript appearance and stock cooler, this card is clocked at 700/1600MHz DDR, the ’standard’ overclocked frequencies for the Radeon X1800 XT 512MB.

Overclocked by a healthy margin, Gigabyte’s GV-RX18T512V-B Turbo Force Edition is tied for the honor of being the fastest Radeon X1800 XT 512MB in the retail scene. It may look like your reference card with a Gigabyte decal but it is certainly a lot faster.
