COMMENT - "The greatest differences are shown when using games for benchmarking and the Sapphire Radeon x1800 GTO offers 17% better gaming performance compared to the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO and an impressive 35% increase in performance compared to the Sapphire Radeon x1650 Pro. Take a good look at the synthetic and game performance shown by the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO and Sapphire Radeon x1650 Pro. When using synthetic benchmarks they are within 3% of each other but when using the game benchmarks the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO easily beats the Sapphire Radeon x1650 Pro by 22% which is why I would choose the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO.

Going back on topic the Sapphire Radeon x1800 GTO is an excellent video card and has all of the features of the more expensive video cards based on the x1800 range!"
COMMENT - "The Sapphire Radeon x1800 GTO puts in a great performance using synthetic benchmarks beating the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO by 21% and the Sapphire Radeon x1650 Pro by 23%. I was not surprised by the close performance between the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO and Sapphire Radeon x1650 Pro because the Sapphire Radeon x800 GTO couldn't complete all of the 3dmark 2006 game tests."
SAPPHIRE X1800 GTO 10/10!
