ATi's Radeon X8xx serie er uden tvivl den mest komplekse grafikkort serie nogensinde, og med det nylig frigivne Radeon X800GT (ATi's konkurrent til NVIDIA's GeForce 6600GT) blev det endnu værre. Men forvirringen er ikke slut endnu, for som
HEXUS fik nys om, under IDF, skulle der være endnu et Radeon X8xx kort på vej, kaldet Radeon X800GTO. Så nye den Radeon X8xx line-up, kommer til at se sådan her ud:
- X850 XT PE
- X850XT
- X850 Pro
- X800XT PE
- X800XT
- X800XL
- X800 Pro
- X800GTO
- X800GT
- X800SE
Men til selve nyheden så har gutterne over hos
bit-tech, lavet et lille roundup bestående af 4 Radeon X800 GT kort og et GeForce 6600GT kort. Kortene i testen er:
- PowerColor GameFX X800 GT 256MB
- HIS Radeon X800 GT IceQ II iTurbo 256MB
- Sapphire Hybrid Radeon X800 GT 256MB
- ATI All-In-Wonder X800 GT 128MB
- BFGTech GeForce 6600 GT OC
Last month, ATI announced a new mid-range video card known as the Radeon X800 GT - designed to take on the GeForce 6600 GT's dominance in the 'performance mainstream' sector. Until now, ATI have not been able to match the price point of the 6600GT - £150 / $250 - with something that performs well enough to be a real contender.
ATI have come, passed by and in one case made a no show in their attempts to compete at this rather important price point. We put the majority of this down to the fact that the NV43 GPU was probably the one of the smartest GPU designs in recent times - it was able to surpass the performance of yesteryear's high-end whilst having a very competitive price tag of around £150 at launch. Radeon X700 Pro wasn't fast enough, Radeon X700 XT never turned up in retail, Radeon X800 256MB cost a little too much to be competitive and the Radeon X800 128MB never showed up in any great volume.

her Selvom Radeon X8xx seriens line-up er forvirrende, er performancen indbyrdes imellem kortene, kombineret med navngivningen og prisen på dem, lige så forvirrende. For er Radeon X800XL langsommere end Radeon X850 Pro, selvom Radeon X850 Pro er dyrere? Og er Radeon X800 en bedre performer end Radeon X800GT, selvom Radeon X800 også er dyrere end Radeon X800GT? Dette kan man blandt andet få svar på i
Legion Hardware's artikel, hvor de sætter Radeon X800GT op imod Radeon X800, X800XL og X850 Pro.
Although they are yet to release a new generation of products, ATi are still going crazy with the Radeon X800 series. The original X800 series lineup was confusing enough, with four products. Now with a total of ten possible Radeon X800 options, things have certainly got out of hand and many users are unsure as to which product will best suit their needs. Picking the right Radeon X800 graphics card will not be an easy task with such a wide variety now on offer. The prices of these cards now range from $130 US through to an insane $450 US. Furthermore the performance variation between the slowest and fastest Radeon X800 graphics cards is quite large.
