AnandTech reviews the Mac ATI Radeon X800 XT

Anand's review

The ATI Radeon X800 XT Mac seems like a nice card, with both DVI and ADC (or can function as dual DVI), and can drive a single Apple 30" display or two 23" displays. It can't drive two 30" displays simultaneously like the 6800 Ultra DDL can though. However, I'm sure that not that too many gamers will be buying two 30" screens. 😉

You can't have everything in a review of course, but what's missing from the review is performance in Apple Motion. My guess is a lot of people buying the higher end Mac cards are looking for performance in non-gaming apps too, and Motion is a prime example.

Too bad that the ATI and the nVidia card are both loud.

For some reason the image links weren't working, but look at the size of the 6800!!! Almost as big as a keyboard!!
