ATI Radeon X1800 GTO Launched

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the my-6600-is-looking-kinda-flabby dept.

SippinTea writes "ATI has also hastened to market with a launch of their own this week, with a new Performance Mid-Range Graphics Card. The Radeon X1800 GTO is a chopped-down version of the Radeon X1800 XL with 12 pixel pipelines and less expensive, lower speed GDDR3 DRAM on board. It compares well with the new GeForce 7600GT but can it compete with a GeForce 7900GT for only a few dollars more?"

    I bet you're the type of guy who enjoys teabagging his mom on Saturday nights, since the previous night's activities between you two cause some soreness and swelling for her.

    But that's okay, experiencing that type of love should not be a crime against humanity, just common decency.

    6. Consumers figure out how to re-enabled all the features that were crippled making there $250 graphics card perform almost equal to the $500 version.

    The key thing you missing here is that most consumers are not like you -- they have lives, which means they are not going to spend time tinkering with their graphics card.

    ATI blows donkey's ass.

    Linux support is poor.
    Their products are way overpriced for what they are.
    Costumer support sux.

    And the most important one:

    IS A CANADIAN COMPANY.

  4. FX5200? Why? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    "Some of the later FX5200 series cards had nothing but a giant heatsink on it. No noise!"

    Or for the same performance at 1/10th the price you could get a passively-cooled GeForce1 or Voodoo3 card secondhand on eBay...
