ATI X800 XL 512MB - Reference card

**MIG-31** · May 13, 2005, 02:16 AM

Our most recent graphics review took a look at ATI HyperMemory and nVidia TurboCache, technologies designed to reduce the amount of onboard graphics memory to an absolute minimum in order to save costs. ATI has now taken things very much the other way with the release of this card, featuring an amazing 512MB of memory. It’s not the first one released, with 512MB versions of the GeForce 6800 Ultra currently available. However, one XFX 512MB card we found at Overclockers is going for over £587, which can’t be finding too many customers. In terms of realistically priced product then, this is a first and ATI has said that it's gunning for around £240 plus VAT for boards from its partners.
