(10/05) S3 Deltachrome S8 review by Ultimate Hardware - "S3 Deltachrome S8 review showing the performance of the S3 Deltachrome using software such as 3dmark 2001 SE, 3dmark 2003, 3dmark 2005, Comanche4, Far Cry, Quake 3 Arena, Serious Sam SE and Unreal Tournament 2004."
(10/05) Sapphire Radeon X1800 XL review by TweakTown - "ATI’s new X1800XL is a similar VPU to the XT variant however clock speeds are slower – both have the same amount of pipelines. The XT variant is available with onboard memory up to 512MB while the XL only has 256MB of GDDR3 memory. Sapphire has clocked the core of their retail card at 500MHz and the memory at 1GHz DDR – the same as the ATI specification. The XT variant is clocked substantially higher at a core clock speed of 625MHz and memory clock speed of 1.5GHz DDR, according to the ATI specification."
(10/05) Asus Dual GeForce 7800 GT review by PCPer - "To be fair, Asus wasn’t the first company to show off a dual-GPU SLI solution on a single card solution. That prize goes to Gigabyte, who nearly a year ago had working 6600GT and 6800GT dual-GPU solutions running and being reviewed. However, the difference between those products and the N7800GT DUAL we are looking at today from Asus is that this card is available much sooner after the NVIDIA part was announced than the 6-series versions from Gigabyte. The 7800 GT was just released in August of this year putting this product only two months later than the first single GPU implementations. "
(10/05) ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 ULi M1695 review by Tbreak - "We like surprises. And that’s exactly what we got when we looked at ULi’s M1695 chipset a few weeks ago. Not only did it perform adequately in benchmarks, but it features both- AGP 8X and PCI-E x16 interfaces without sacrificing performance. Even better was the fact that it costs less than nVidia's solutions. Today, we take a look at one of the first retail boards based on this chipset- the Asrock 939Dual-SATA2 priced at approximated $75."
(10/05) PowerColor RadeonX800 GT review by Bjorn3D - "Last month we brought you an interesting review of PowerColor X800 GT along with a supplement. To refresh your memory, ATI had decided to create a dead die SKU based on pipeline-crippled R480 and R423. Sounds like a plan to get rid of last generation VPUs right? Week or two ago, we've seen 12 pipeline GTO2 cards from Sapphire with Samsung 1.6ns memory chips -- most if not all are moddable to 16 pipelines."
(10/05) HIS Radeon X800 GT review by Viperlair - "The X800GT is a card which is aimed to compare with the 6600GT and be marketed for the performance midrange. Until now, ATI have not had anything that could compete with the 6600GT but as time has moved on and there are inevitably defective GPU’s from higher up the line, then ATI can still use these less than perfect chips in the likes of the X800GT (ATI call this dead-die SKU). The X800GT uses 8 Pixel Pipelines and 6 Vertex Shaders, which while not stellar, should perform nicely in the intended midrange arena. The card we have for this review is the HIS X800GT IceQ II Turbo 256MB, which has a few differences from the reference design X800GT."
(10/05) HIS Radeon X800 GTO 256MB review by BonaFideReviews - "With the spotlight on the recently released X1000 family it seems as though the X800 family is quickly becoming a thing of the past. This is a very good thing for most consumers as well all know the older a technology gets the cheaper it becomes. The X800's are slowly slipping into the "bargain" card category. However today's X800 family member is fairly new and at an affordable price, the HIS X800GTO is definitely worth a close look."
(10/05) HiS Radeon X800 GT review by Guru3D - "Literally days before ATI released their all new X1000 series of graphics cards, two refresh products of the X800 family were released. A couple of weeks ago we already showed you a preview based on an engineering sample of the Radeon X800 GT. Today our good friends from HiS sent in the final production sample of the x800 GT, a competitively priced card with the fantastic ICeQ-II cooler."
(10/05) Albatron GeForce 6600 LE PCIe review by PCStats - "nVIDIA recently addressed a rather large performance gap between its entry level and mainstream products by introducing the GeForce 6600LE GPU. It uses the same NV43 core as the mainstream Geforce 6600GT videocard, but this time around the NV43 has been teamed up with TSOP-II 400 MHz DDR memory which dramatically cuts down costs. Videocards based on the new GeForce 6600LE core, like the Albatron PC6600LEQ, can be had for around $100 US. That makes these cards very price competitive."
(10/05) HIS Radeon X800 GT review by Bjorn3D - "The X800GT and X800GTO chips are aimed at providing mid-level performance. The X800GTO actually is recognized as a X850Pro in the drivers but I can see why they chose to rename it to X800GTO as it would have been confusing to have the X800XL, which is a bit faster, and then the X850 Pro which is slower."
(10/05) HIS Radeon X700 128MB AGP review by TweakTown - "The most interesting thing we’ve witnessed is that as the X700 and the GeForce 6600 are so close in terms of capabilities, the real battle has shifted to the card manufacturers. Who can pack the most onto the card? Who can put together the most attractive bundle? Who can come up with dynamic cooling and heat dissipation, and who can implement it the best? "
(10/05) Asus GeForce 7800 GTX review by XBitLabs - "The RADEON X1800 XT 512MB has been considered as the world’s top-performing graphics card to date after the launch. But what about the GeForce 7800 GTX with boosted clock-speeds? Witness, how the GeForce 7800 GTX with 486MHz engine speed and 1.35GHz memory manages to leave behind the RADEON X1800 XT in loads of benchmarks as we share our experience about ASUS Extreme N7800 GTX TOP graphics card."
(10/05) BFGTech GeForce 7800 PCIe review by HardOCP - "The GeForce 7800 GT has been out now for two months. When NVIDIA unveiled the GeForce 7800 GT, they made this a hard launch just like its big brother the GeForce 7800 GTX. In fact, we were able to review two retail BFGTech GeForce 7800 GT OC video cards for the launch of the GeForce 7800 GT. When we examined the gameplay experience, we were very pleased with the level of performance and image quality being rendered by the GeForce 7800 GT. While the GeForce 7800 GTX was definitely faster, the BFGTech GeForce 7800 GT OC was right behind trailing very closely. At the time of the GeForce 7800 GT launch, there was no competition for it from ATI. Now that the Radeon X1800 XL has been launched, we can directly compare these video cards."
(10/05) DFI LanParty UT Radeon RDX200 review by Anandtech - "DFI produced what is arguably the most enthusiast-friendly board on the retail market when they launched the LANParty nForce4 series. They then shocked the conventional wisdom among computer manufacturers when their LANParty nForce4 boards became the best seller in a market crowded with nForce4 products. With firm credentials for leadership in the Enthusiast market, DFI set their sights on producing a similar "Gold Standard" motherboard based on the ATI Crossfire AMD chipset. The question on everyone's mind is, has DFI done it again?"
(10/05) Sapphire Radeon X800 review by TweakTown - "ATI’s Radeon X800GTO we have found has no problems playing a majority of new games with fairly good frame rates – after all, they are just a cut-down version of the X850XT series which ATI and their partners are using to sell excess R480 cores. It’s a product which won’t see a lot of retail shelf time but that doesn’t change the fact that it is a good performance level VPU at an affordable price."
(10/05) AMD Opteron 254 review by Techreport - "With dual-core CPUs firmly established, neither manufacturer has been talking much about single-core processors in the workstation market—but the high-end single-core processor still has a hand or two to play before it makes a final exit. AMDÂ’s recent stealth launch of the Opteron 254 at 2.8GHz ensures that the limelight stays focused on their dual-core products, while the Opteron 254 offers an intriguing option for buyers caught on the fence between lower-speed, dual-core and higher-clocked, single-core processors."
