Sapphire Radeon X800 XL Ultimate PCIe Review

Bjorn3D - While the overclocking wasn’t as good as the standard X800 XL, I am still very impressed with the X800 XL Ultimate’s performance (and with X800 XL’s in general), as it offers a lot of performance for the money. Currently, the availability of the X800 XL Ultimate seems pretty limited. After a quick check at several popular stores, I only found it at Newegg for $339 although it was out of stock when I checked. This price is about $30-40 more than the non-Ultimate and is actually around $10 more than if you were to buy a non-Ultimate card and a Zalman VF700 to install yourself. That route could void your warranty though, so if you want a quiet X800 XL, then the Sapphire X800 XL Ultimate comes highly recommended.
