With all of our recent articles concerning NVIDIA's latest round of products, it seemed as if our analysis in the graphics space was getting a bit lop-sided. Today, we're aiming to change that with a new card from Sapphire, dubbed the Sapphire Toxic X800 Pro ViVo. This card alone could make up for some of the new mid range Radeon's missing fanfare. From the shiny metallic alien-adorned box to the exotic looking card within, this product is definitely an eye-catcher. Based on the Radeon X800 Pro VPU, the Toxic X800 Pro is a complete solution for both performance users and multimedia aficionados.
Sapphire is branding this, as well as some other new cards, as the "TOXIC" series. They are essentially top-of-the-line products with lots of extra features, including a solid game bundle, oversized cooling options, hardware monitoring, and software controlled overclocking called Automated Performance Enhancement, or "APE" for short. Let's start off with the specifications of the Toxic X800 Pro, and see what kind of "monkey business" Sapphire is up to.
