*OFFICIAL* ATI Radeon X800 PRO & XT Review Thread

According to the thread in Video, the NDA doesn't expire until 1400GMT, which is 2:15 from now.


Confused
 
Im interested in the final analysis of the R42x range, and then later the reviews on retail stuff.

Then, we can finally get rid of all the chlidish squabeling of members talking out of their league on the differences between PS2.0 & 3.0 and the effects of clock speeds and pipelines on the whole thing.

If thos numbers are correct it certainly looks like the ATI/NVidia race is still on with ATI holding a performance edge overall. I'll wait for more reviews, but I don't think these numbers are unbelievable.

Slow as hell of course. And they are now doing apples-to-apples benchs in response to all the complaints woohoo 🙂.

EDIT: and none of the images seem to load...

I'm afraid that will never happen.
 
HEXUS.NET is out too... Hexus's review


Pictures working too !

There review's is pretty good....... Benchmarks are shown using the frame rate/resolution graph.....just like Tech Reports review..............The new graphs are much more infomative than the traditional bar chart......


Tech Reports review also includes benchmarks from the 6800 Ultra Extreme too !
 
From the TR Review

Note some details in the pictures above. The cooler is a single-slot design for both cards. Both the X800 Pro and XT Platinum Edition require only one aux power connector, and they should work with any decent 300W power supply unit. In fact, one of the ATI engineers brought an X800-equipped Shuttle XPC to the X800 launch event, just to show it was possible to use the card in it.

It specifically says they use the same crappy testing methodology for "highest playable settings".

That does it!! Forget NVIDIA with their twin power/dual slot hijinks. ATI all the way this round!! (as it was last round).

And with their superior FSAA, it's a done deal. NVIDIA who?? 😛
 
Well, I guess if there's an early assumption based on these comparison reviews, the ATI is probably the preferred card for DX 9.0 games like HL2, however the nVidia looks to be the card for Doom3 and all it's variants based on the same OpenGL engine. Not a huge surprise.

Good to see that differences are much smaller this time. Competition is great.
