PowerColor 128MB Radeon X800 GTO PCIe Graphics Card

Friday, March 3rd, 2006 | News, Video Card Reviews

Powercolor has been around for a few years and this new Radeon based card does a pretty good job at delivering, in terms of graphics performance. There is usually not much between the different cards as they are all based on the same GPU, for example there are a few companies with an X800 model like this as they are all based on the same processor.

This model comes in colorful red packaging and includes a few extra cables that could be needed as well as the usual driver CD for getting things going on your computer. It comes with the standard ATI driver CD, giving you the standard options with no extras to tickle your fancy.

With a large amount of noise coming from the fan it might disrupt your quiet working environment. This is a little bit of problem, but that depends on your needs for your computer. It’s length runs longer than older graphics cards so it might come quite close to your memory slots.

The pricing is right and is clearly outperforms an X600 model from Gigabyte, but which comes at a similar price. In test performed at bigbruin it doubles the results of the X600 mentioned before.

The card needs to be overclocked by other software as none is included with the package. In the end it comes out as a strong performer and recommended.
