PowerColor Radeon X800 GT Review

The performance of the X800 GT is simply awesome for the price. It is worth every penny you spend on it, even if it does not mod. A quick check in some of the popular online retailers shows that the PowerColor X800 GT comes in at around ~$160-165 while the cheapest 6600 GT with 256MB runs for ~$185-195. It costs $30 cheaper and provides better performance? Do you even have to think?

Not only that, the use of the R480 core allows potential for modifications to enable even more pipelines. Although my sample did not mod, I am very positive that PowerColor’s X800 GTO VIVO has the potential. It comes with a PCI-E power connector and should also use the R480 core as well. ATI has a winner with the X800 GT and PowerColor has done a great job with it. A decent bundle, a decent price, and a great overclock can only mean a winner.
