(01/05) InnoD Geforce4 Ti4200 vs Galaxy Zeus 5500 review by Ultimate Hardware - "This review is a request to compare the Inno3D Geforce4 Ti4200 to the Galaxy Zeus 5500. We have used a wide range of benchmark software:- 3dmark 2001 SE, 3dmark 2003, 3dmark 2005, Doom 3, Far Cry, Scrapland, Tribes Vengeance, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Xpand Rally."
(01/05) MSI GeForce 6800 review by FiringSquad - "Ironically enough, when NVIDIA first introduced their PCI Express GeForce 6 cards last June, the only products in the pipeline that were officially announced were the GeForce 6800 Ultra and the GeForce 6800 GT PCI-E: GeForce 6800 PCI-E was nowhere to be found; NVIDIA was focusing their efforts solely on the GT and Ultra parts. It has now been over seven months since these PCI Express cards were first announced to the public and, for the most part, they’re still nowhere to be found at retail!"
(01/05) HIS Radeon X700 Pro PCIe 256MB review by OverclockersOnline - "Today we would like to give you a look at a card sporting ATi's mainstream PCI-E solution, the HIS X700Pro IceQ Turbo VIVO 256MB PCI-E. A long name indeed, but the length is justified by the amount of features this product carries. We'll get to that in detail later, but in the meantime lets begin with a look at the packaging."
(01/05) XFX GeForce 6600 GT PCIe review by Hexus - "Most GeForce 6600 GT cards ship with 128MB of onboard RAM and factory-default clocks of 500MHz core and 1000MHz memory, respectively. NVIDIA seems to have an agreement with partners such that default core clocks should be followed by one and all. However, there appears to be no such restriction on partners' choice of card DRAM. XFX has identified this area as a means of differentiating its product from the homogeneous crowd and has produced what it reckons is the finest GeForce 6600 GT card to date. Let's take a closer look at XFX's effort. Is this the must-have 6600 GT?. We'll attempt to find out."
(01/05) XGI Volari V3XT AGP review by BigBruin - "The XGI Volari V3XT is sold in the interesting retail packaging shown below. The Xena Warrior Princess type graphic may be used to convey a message along the lines of the V3XT being something sexy with deadly power... or perhaps not. The key details of the product are printed on the front of the box, while the back of the box describes more features in five different languages. The V3XT is sold as shown in many countries, so having one universal box makes marketing/sales a bit easier."
(01/05) Sapphire Radeon X700 Pro PCIe review by HardOCP - "Today we are going to look at a full retail boxed version of the Sapphire Hybrid Radeon X700 PRO. Under Sapphire’s product lineup page, you will see that they have adopted the “Hybrid” brand name for the Radeon X700 series. You will also notice they do have a Hybrid X700 XT listed there; however, you cannot find this card for sale anywhere right now. Again, the card we are looking at today is the Hybrid X700 PRO."
(01/05) HIS Radeon X600 XT review by LegitReviews - "Today we will be reviewing the HIS Excalibur X600 XT video card, which is based off the RV380 core by ATI. The X600 XT video card is a PCI Express Card, and we are comparing it to Asus's 9600XT, which is an AGP Slot Card. Although this card has been out for a little while, we feel our readers would like to see how this good quality, mid-priced card sizes up to some of the newer gaming titles as well as its performance against its AGP counter-part!"
(01/05) ATi Radeon X800 XL review by Guru3D - "The Radeon x800 XL is a new high-end product yet within that segment on the lower and thus more affordable region. The little ogre was manufactured under codename R430 and is actually built on the smaller 0.11 micron fabrication process. The product is, of course, purely intended for the PCI-Express platform. Why not AGP you ask, as there surely is a market for it. Well, as is seems ATI is not ready for it just yet, so I don't expect it anytime soon. They are working on an AGP solution though, under codename Rialto to be precise. Yet it's just not finished, there's a big AGP market out there waiting on this for real."
(01/05) ATi Radeon X800 Pro review by Viperlair - "The ATI Radeon X800 Pro comes in the standard red and black box from ATI. The front cover features the new figure for the X800, a very mean looking Minotaur. The rear shows some screenshots from the ATI demos, and also has a large picture of Ruby (ATI's answer to the fairy from that OTHER Company.)"
(01/05) MSI GeForce 6600 GT AGP review by PCStats - " PCStats has the opportunity to look at MSI's new NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP videocard. This card is compatible with 8x/4x AGP motherboards only, and will not physically fit in AGP 2X or earlier slots. It comes equipped with 128MB of Samsung GDDR3 BGA memory on a 128-bit memory bus. At 900MHz, the MSI NX6600GT-VTD12's memory is clocked 50 Mhz slower than the Albatron Trinity 6600GT AGP card we reviewed recently, and a full 100Mhz slower than the Gigabyte GV-NX66T128D's memory. We'll see later if this has any impact on benchmark performance. For the multimedia enthusiasts out there, the NX6600GT-VTD128 is fully VIVO compatible."
(01/05) Sapphire Radeon X850 XT-PE review by TrustedReviews - "Just to recap briefly, the X850 XT PE, codenamed R480, is a 16 pixel-pipeline and six vertex pipeline VPU, backed up by 256MB of GDDR3 memory. Unlike the recent X800 XL, which has been shrunk to 0.11 Micron process, this part is still based on TSMC 0.13 Micron process. However, experience has enabled ATI and TSMC to optimise the process enabling higher clock speeds to be achieved. The core is running at a new high for ATI of 540MHz, while the memory is up to 590MHz or 1.18GHz effective. Making a welcome appearance on an ATI X8** series board is dual DVI, no doubt to match nVidia's 6800 Ultra cards. VIVO is also present and if you do pick up a full retail version of one of these Sapphire boards."
(01/05) ATi Radeon X850 XT-PE review by Guru3D - "We've reviewed quite a number of HiS products in the past already, it all started with their really nice 9800 Pro IceQ model roughly a year and a half ago, it had a revolutionary cooling design that many of us simply love so much. They are managing that same trick again with the x800 Pro/XT series, and yes it has happened again. HiS is equipping (offering) the Radeon x700 Pro IceQ Turbo cooling solution making it one very interesting buy."
(01/05) Gigabyte GeForce 6600 GT AGP review by LegionHardware - "After recently reviewing the Gigabyte 3D1, which was a dual-core graphics card designed for use with the PCI Express bus, it is easy to forget about AGP. However, if you were to forget about AGP, you would be forgetting about the majority of the computers in the world that still use this interface. Clearly AGP will not be exiting the market anytime soon and most users are not willing to sacrifice their entire system for a graphics card upgrade. That said manufacturers such as ATi and NVIDIA are still releasing the odd AGP card. While the GeForce 6600 GT was never intended for AGP use, through the NVIDIA bridge chip it can support this bus."
(01/05) ATi Radeon X850 XT-PE PCIe review by Bjorn3D - "Earlier this autumn, ATi revealed details about their new PCI-Express video cards, the X850 XT Platinum Edition (PE) and the X800 XL. While the X850 XT PE of course is the new high-end video card, the X800 XL is ATI’s answer to NVIDIA’s GeForce 6800 GT. ATI was kind enough to lend us two reference cards for a quick spin in some of our benchmarks."
(01/05) Gigabyte Radeon X800 XT review by LegionHardware - "Today Gigabyte has an almost generic looking Radeon X800XT for us, featuring an ATi reference cooler. This is surprising considering the Gigabyte Radeon X800 Pro featured a custom heatsink and fan setup. The images of the Radeon X800XT on the Gigabyte website picture this graphics card with the custom cooler and therefore I may have received a pre-production card. Either way, the Gigabyte Radeon X800XT appears to be much cheaper than that of the ASUS solution which was reviewed here a few months ago now. It will be interesting to see how Gigabyte is able to offer their Radeon X800XT at an $80 US cheaper price tag and if anything at all has been sacrificed."
(01/05) BFG GeForce 6600 GT AGP review by Neoseeker - "Today we take at BFG's 6600GT OC AGP, a part that gamers still on last generation's midrange cards should take a very close look at especially if PCIe is not in the works for the near future. BFG's OC series has been very popular amongst gamers as it features an out of box factory guaranteed overclocked and a lifetime warranty."
