Although NVIDIA has its own performance strongholds in certain games like Doom 3 and technological advantages like SLI to call upon, the RADEON X850 XT P.E. is without doubt the faster single-card solution overall. While the research and development of the visual processing unit (VPU) is in ATI's hands, the market penetration and sales figures that determine the success of a product lies with its manufacturing partners. The products introduced by their tier one partners may well determine how long and glorious the RADEON X850 XT P.E will reign as the top dog. Today, we take a look at an implementation of this top range card by one such partner, Gigabyte's GV-RX85X256V-B.
