The Overclocker Cafe' has posted their review up on the middle range VGA card from ATI. Aimed squarely at the NVidia GeForce 6600 GT controlled sub $200 bracket, the Radeon X800GT makes a nice showing. Other than HIS's impressive IceQ cooling setup that provides better and quieter cooling, the HIS Radeon proves to be a rather vanilla product; nothing really negative just not a lot to separate it from the crowd. Here's a snip of the review.


The HIS X800GT that we've had in the shop performed well for a mid-range contender. While it's performance wasn't outstanding, it brought in playable frame rates and decent image quality, just like the 6600GT's that we've seen. However, with ATi's Crossfire technology not quite out in the open yet and nVidia's SLI already close to a year old, you won't be running a dual card setup with the X800GT just yet.

...the prices keep dropping since they are way behind the eight ball when compared to nVidia. I am thinking about a mid-range card soon tough, maybe another 6800 GT as those prices drop due to the 7800 GTs coming in.
