TrustedReviews has published their view on the ATI Radeon X700 XT. It was only a couple of weeks ago that I looked at the GeForce 6600 GT, which is nVidia's new mid-range offering, and it proved to be a pretty capable solution at a reasonable price. So, unsurprisingly, ATI has just launched a new mid-range card as well – the Radeon X700. Like the GeForce 6600, the Radeon X700 will come in multiple flavours offering differing levels or performance, and consequently different levels of pricing. Top of the range will be the X700 XT, which is set to go head to head with the GeForce 6600 GT.

Like the GeForce 6600 GT, the X700 XT sets out to prove that you don't need to take out a second mortgage to get decent graphics on your PC. For now at least, it seems like the GeForce 6600 GT has the edge, with faster Doom3 performance and the prospect of SLi, but things may well change when Half-Life 2 arrives. All that said, the X700 XT provides solid 3D performance at an affordable price point.
