Asus Radeon X800 XT PE
The X800 XT PE is ATI's attempt to keep up with the nVidia 6800 ultra. Whilst
it does match the 6800 Ultra's performance, except in Doom 3 where they have
the advantage of UltraShadow II, these cards are very hard to find, because
they are just higher clocked X800 XTs, and the yields are very poor.
This is why they have now been superseded by the X850 XT PE, made on a smaller
process, and clocked even higher. ATI are soon to replace the entire x800 family
with x850 equivalents, all using the improved 110nm manufacturing process, with
slightly higher clock speeds as a bonus. Since it is almost impossible to find
an x800 XT PE in stock anywhere, and it is shortly to be discontinued, this
review is already out of date and irrelevant even as it is written. However,
the benchmarks of the card provide a useful comparison point for the Club 3D
x850 XT PE card also reviewed in this group test.
The new x850 has much better yields, and should be easily available very soon.
This means that the x800 XT PE is effectively obsolete already, despite being
the fastest card currently available. Even if you could find an x800 XT PE in
stock anywhere, it would be wisest to bide your time and wait just a couple of weeks for the x850 XT
PE to hit the shops.
