johndoan1 from VA Member Since: Dec 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 21 Days	Not bad for a over-year-old-technology card Strengths: Can run most modern games at 1600x1200 with AA/AF turned on, albeit not fully. Takes only 1 PCI-E slot. 256MB version. Dual DVI AND VIVO! Weaknesses: Fan a bit loud. Not overclockable. Middling benchmark scores. Cannot be compared to similarly priced X850XT's. Summary: Overall I get benchmarks in the 9000's for 3dmark03 with decent framerates. I've run FarCry 1600x1200, Doom3, Halo 2 without a hitch. I will not overclock it based on other people's comments, not worth it for a $100 card. It is great for a HTPC though as it has VIVO and can be doubled with a ATI HDTV card and/or x1600 all-in-one solution. Personally if I want to do that I will use a USB HDTV PVR solution instead. 67% of People (2/3) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

yboon800 Member Since: Aug 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 5 Days	Power Color X800 GTO Strengths: Good graphic. Value for money. Working well with my new Conroe Core 2 Duo Weaknesses: Cannot find any yet Summary: The DVI adapter come together with the card is enabled me to connect to my LCD without DVI connection. So far haven't see any issue. Need to benchmark with 3DMark 2005/6. 50% of People (1/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

mf944 Member Since: Jul 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Days	good value Strengths: cheap (~$95 right now off newegg), good performance for the price Weaknesses: Already 1 generation old, but at this price, can't complain Summary: Runs great so far, on par with reviews. As long as you don't run insane resolutions, this card is powerful enough to keep up in most games even with a little AA/AF. Haven't tried overclocking this particular card yet though. 50% of People (1/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

ted628 from AZ Member Since: Nov 2002 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 10 Days	An ok graphic card for its suggested retail price Strengths: Posted around 9000 at 3Dmark03, which is acceptable. Weaknesses: The fan produce some noise. For most people it should be fine. Summary: Got this card during an newegg.com sale. Can't OC a lot. I can only OC GPU 7% and memory 10%. However, for the price I paid, there is no complain. If there is no sale, I would go for an nVidia one. You can get 10000+ at 3Dmark03 with an nVidia 7600GS at the same price range. You can get 8000+ at 3Dmark03 with an nVidia 7300GT for a cheaper price. 50% of People (1/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

sglcoil Member Since: Jul 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Day	Good value Strengths: Very affordable with great performance. Can easily run most new games and old games on medium to high settings. Weaknesses: It isn't the best out there but it's pretty close. Summary: When you're like me, you just want a graphics card that gives decent picture for a good price. The X800 GTO does exactly that. You can get better graphics card for more money, but why bother? 0% of People (0/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

Snowlock from OH Member Since: Aug 2003 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Days	Works well Strengths: Price Weaknesses: no SLI connection Summary: Good for the price, not the best gaming card, but it pretty much plays everything out to this point at high settings. I am sorta disappointed that it doesn't have a SLI connector pins on it. Several other graphics cards at this level can be added to the SLI arrays and this one can not, yet it is technically more expensive than those with SLI. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?
