ATI Radeon X800 Pro 256 MB Review
Today we will be taking a look at the Radeon X800 Pro from ATI. The only differences between the X800 Pro and the X800 XT are the clock speeds and pipelines. The X800 Pro has 12 pixel pipelines and operates at 475 MHz core and 450 MHz (900 MHz DDR) memory speeds while the X800 XT has 16 pixel pipelines and operates at 520 MHz core and 560 MHz (1120 GHz DDR) memory speeds. While the 12 pipelines and lower clock speeds may place it second to the X800 XT Platinum Edition, there is still plenty in the way of power and price that proves this is no main-stream card.

This time around, NVIDIA looks to be providing some tough competition. We will be comparing the X800 Pro to NVIDIA's GeForce 6800 GT. The cards will be competing head-on through several graphically intensive games such as Doom 3, Far Cry and even the Half-Life 2 Source engine benchmark. How will the X800 Pro perform when placed side by side with the 6800 GT? Has ATI managed to stay the performance king, or will they have to bow down to NVIDIA this time around? There are a couple ways of finding out, but since you're already here, why not read on?
