Conclusion

by

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 The only negative point is the meager and outdated application software bundle.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  • Outdated and rather slim software bundle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
