Title: Hexus Review the All-In-Wonder X800XT
Post by: TeaLeaf on September 10, 2004, 08:06:30 AM
The new range-topping AIW ATI card is now out and features ATI’s new purple and gold livery which is meant to help you tell the difference between an AIW card and a non-AIW card.  Like all the extra dongles wouldn't give it away :rolleyes:

Read the brief summary here (http://www.hexus.net/content/reviews/review.php?dXJsX3Jldmlld19JRD04NTI=).

I have this day inserted into my loved one an X800XT. Overclockers UK Connect3D OEM. Here. (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/X800_XT.html) The first thing I did was to run HL2 video stress test. On my 9700pro I got 27fps. On this baby it is now 109fps and with extra FSAA and Anisotropic filtering. I am delighted! FarCry I had to play in 800x600. Now 1280x1027 and no holds barred!  :dribble:  :D  :lol:  :dribble:  :D  :o  :devil:  :winkiss:

What res where you running? 27 is very poor for 9700pro.At 1024 should be around 79-80 and at 1280 about 60-65.

At the time 1027x786 and that on a 22" monitor. I have also had some random crashes and lockups for a while. Maybe it was on the way out. Good job I replaced it just in time  :D

I've been using AIW's since the AIW128 and I have to say that that is the sexiest looking AIW yet.  Stackable I/O modules? FM tuner (no XM, snuh?), they finally shrunk the tuner!?!  

Holy crap!
