HIS Radeon X800 GT 256MB Turbo (PCIe) Review

If the recent successful launch of its Radeon X800 GT is any indication, we may just see the X1800 XT in stores by November, though with the likely high prices, most people can only afford to gawk at it behind store windows. For the budget conscious, ATI already has a ‘new’ mid-range Radeon X800 GT series, which has succeeded in giving NVIDIA’s GeForce 6600 GT some tough competition. As we have seen in our PowerColor Radeon X800 GT review, ATI’s new mid-range weapon is priced well and offers compelling performance with better memory throughout.

Today, we will be featuring an enhanced version released by HIS, its Radeon X800 GT Turbo. The second Radeon X800 GT that we have received, the HIS Radeon X800 GT Turbo promises to lead its peers with its overclocked speeds and customized Arctic Cooling heatsink. With an ice-cool exterior, read on as we probe if the cool factor is just skin deep.
