Thursday Reviews

We're playing Burnout 3. It's awesome, no doubt about that. The game could use some sprucing up with the online stuff. I blame EA with their garbage service.

Sapphire X600 Pro @ RBMods.

Another PCI-express video card has arrived to our test bench. This is different from the others as its a ATI card. Sapphiretech were nice and sent us their latest X600 video card. We will compare it to the Nvidia PCI-E cards and see which one performs the best.

Ultra PC3200 @ OO.

Overall, I'm fairly pleased with the performance of the ULT31022. For the price you would normally pay, this actually surpasses my expectations. This does not mean however that there isn't room for improvement!

BFG 6800 OC @ bjorn3d. bjorn's 8 yr giveaway.

The war between the graphics giants will go on and on for eternity at this point, so the biggest news is always who has the biggest weapon at the time. There always seems to be someone with a bigger gun, but finding out just how much more heat the competitor is packing is becoming more and more of a challenge. Enter NVIDIA's big gun -- the 6800 series of video cards.

HIS X800XT @ OCPrives.
[/quote]We have already looked at a few X800 Pros here at OcPrices, and despite being extremely fast cards, they are not ATis flagship. Unless you have been living under a rock for several months, you will already know that the fastest card to come from the Canadian firm is the X800 XT Platinum Edition. The card we are looking at today is the HIS version, more specifically the HIS Excalibur X800 XT IceQ II. Despite its name, I should emphasise this is the full Platinum Edition chipset, not the slower XT version delivered to OEMs.[/quote]
