The ASUS Extreme AX800 XT 256MB PCIe graphics card has been reviewed by Hexus. ATI has been slow in getting its Radeon X800 XT AGP cards out to partners and the retail market. Slow is perhaps being kind. Reviewers first passed judgement on the Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition over five months ago and we're still waiting for retail to become widely available. That, frankly, is simply not on. Enthusiasts are given a taste of gaming nirvana and then subjected to an interminable wait. ATI is having another bash at releasing an R420 variant. This time the fun is packaged in PCI Express (PCIe) format, perfect for that high-performance PCIe PC you're thinking of building.

Legion Hardware has reviewed the Gigabyte Radeon X300 graphic card. Unfortunately, Gigabyte is marketing their Radeon X300 product as a real low-end solution. The card features no active cooling what so ever, there is a moderate sized heatsink over the GPU which makes up the entire cooling setup of this Radeon X300 graphics card. Naturally when overclocking, any graphics card is going to generate more heat and therefore passive cooling just won’t do. However, this did not stop me from making a quick modification to the Gigabyte Radeon X300.

Seems we forgot the review at Bit-Tech on 3DMark05. 3DMark03 was something of a mixed bag on its release some 18 months ago - designed to usher in a new era of spanky DirectX 9.0 graphics, it was soon discovered that in fact several of the tests were somewhat DirectX 7 and 8 biased. The relative newness of DirectX 9.0 hardware was blamed - it would have alienated too many users who were still running older generations. As a result, it landed in no-man's land - many people persisted with 3DMark2001 as it was an old stalwart of measuring system performance, but many people including ourselves moved away from using 3DMark - with the invention of "real-world" measures like FRAPS, we could measure a card's performance using the things that mattered the most: Games!

InsaneTek has put their BFG GeForce 6800 OC review online. BFG is a fairly new company that established themselves in the computer industry rather quickly. They are well known for their friendly and responsive technical support and customer service. BFG is the only video card company that offers lifetime warranty on their video cards. A lifetime warranty! A video card doesn't even last a lifetime. Of course there are certain rules that you have to follow, such as no overclocking.

Well I wanted to mention that Accelenation has put an article online on 3DMark05.
The next chapter in Futuremark's synthetic benchmarking suite has finally arrived
- 3DMark05. Perhaps the term "synthetic" is slightly
disingenuous; after all, the 3DMark score itself has always been derived from
the in-built game simulations and never from the abstract "feature" tests. Some
people might argue that a score that derives from a single rendering engine can
never reflect hardware performance across a wide range of games. Although this
may be true, I believe that it completely misses the point of the 3DMark
result.
