Conclusion
Gigabyte's Radeon X800 Pro did not fail to impress. In addition to good 3D performance and a full feature set, the card also earns points for its generous gaming bundle and a complete set of cables, which includes a YPrPb component cable for use with HDTV displays. Hardware enthusiasts will appreciate Gigabyte's V-Tuner 2 overclocking utility and the cooling fan featuring LED lights. The only negative point is the meager and outdated application software bundle.
Pros
- High 3D performance and DirectX 9.0b support
- Texture filtering optimizations can deactivated (in part)
- TV-Out
- HDTV connectivity thanks to YPrPb cable
- Full set of cables
- Very good gaming bundle
- Taskbar-Tool & Overclocking Software
Con
- High price
- Outdated and rather slim software bundle
- No video inputs
