Today Beyond3D is looking at Sapphire's Radeon X800 (standard) - the lower end X800 product based on R430, which caused Radeon X700 XT to shuffle off its mortal coil even before it was actually released! Touted as having 12 pipelines and a 256-bit memory bus, but at a price attractive to mainstream users we check it out in relation to a number of the other parts ATI have announced within this price range over the past few months... "One thing that can be noted on this board is that it features full 2ns GDDR3 RAM, which is the same RAM used on the X800 XL and numerous other higher end boards. Given that X800's RAM is only running at 350MHz this represents a fairly serious underclock of that RAM and board vendors could very well just utilise DDR memory closer to those ratings. As such, while we believe initial board samples will use 2ns GDDR3 RAM this may not continue further into the lifetime of the board."Along with Beyond3D's usual theoretical and games testing we take a look at the heat / power / noise metrics and video processing performance of this new mainstream board.
