This means that the chip has to draw less power and will then radiate less heat. There are no heatsinks on the memory chips, again testament to the low heat generation of the card. The Overdrive utility will enable dynamic overclocking of the chip dependant on the ambient temperature of the PC.
This means that if there is a problem with the VPU not communicating with the driver software, the whole system will not crash as is usually the case. Instead the VPU recovery utility will detect when the communication between the VPU and driver stops and attempt to reset the graphics hardware independently. Performance wise the XT is noticeably faster than the Pro All-in-Wonder in our benchmarks, which itself runs slightly faster than a standard Pro.
Talking of games, one of the best features of the Radeon XT is that Half Life 2 will be bundled in the box. Well, not exactly in the box. The performance is solid, it has the ability to be safely overclocked, you get one of the most eagerly awaited games of all time free and the price is pretty much a steal.

Report Software. Related Software. Overclocking In testing, I was able to get my Radeon XT stable and artifact-free with core and memory clock speeds of and MHz. Some cards may be cable of higher clock speeds, and some may barely overclock at all. This safety feature, added in the Catalyst 3. It works, too. Overclocking the Radeon XT yields impressive gains in AquaMark3 both with and without antialiasing and anisotropic filtering.
However, things do change with driver releases, so we will be looking at the comparative 3D image quality of the latest ATI and NVIDIA products with the latest drivers in an upcoming article. The results of our performance testing are clear. I can only hope that ATI will consider bumping up the Catalyst 3.
Today, the Radeon XT is as good as mid-range graphics gets. The GeForceFX is actually the most direct competator. This review should be redone to include the non-pro. Which I doubt ATi is willing to push it that far without exotic cooling. Not to mention that the Memory needs to clock at 1. This review never happened and Geoff Gasior is crazy. Halo benchmark scores are NOT representative of gameplay. Good to see you are taking notice of peoples critisism. How ridiculously short-sighted and simple-minded of you.
Sheesh, put away the fanboy specs and just buy whatever gives the best combination of price, performance and quality when you need a new card. Did you actually read the review? There is a negligible performance difference bettwen the XT and Pro. How are they cheated benchmarks? We use the same benchmarks that everyone else uses, with renamed. Yeah, more competition for nVidia and ATi will be a good thing.
Futhermore, they have both proven to be capable of questionable tactics when the going gets tough so another real alternative will help keep them both on their toes.
And all Nintendo had to do was stop gearing Nintendo towards kids, and sell Grand Theft Auto to 12yr olds….. PS2 — Atleast it has some N64 — umm, might as well be zero, they all sucked. Quest 64? Jaguar — umm why did I bother 3do — read above virtual boy — read above then think about shining red light in your eyes all the time p. I own one, I enjoy it. There is probably some truth to what you say. My independent research coincides with what you said. I have a feeling the source leak was not exactly an accident.
I certainly hope that the Radeon class hardware becomes standard for mainstream PCs. We want game developers to be able to target games toward that performance and feature level. From the other articles that included the pro I noticed that even with less memory bandwidth the pro sometimes won at high resolutions.
Why did you only compare this card against other low-end cards? I want to know how it stacks up against the Pro and the without having to refer to other articles. Did ATI specify that you could only show results vs. The NV40 and R will be more then just a die shrink, clock speed ramping and adding more pipelines. ATI has been through multiple card generations and they are still using those 3. That's where Aura comes in. Available on both our laptops and desktop platforms, Aura is a one stop shop for controlling anything RGB on your system.
Depending on your platform and accessories, you can use our Aura Sync utility to control your keyboard, monitor, motherboard, GPU, case lights, and even compatible components from other manufacturers. Aura is built into our Armoury Crate software, which means it lives alongside other system tools like fan controls and system monitoring on ROG laptops.
RGB gives you almost limitless flexibility to reflect your personality, but controlling those LEDs has historically been less than simple. Aura and Aura Sync are designed to be painless. It's easy to set a static color with one click, disable the lighting completely, or go all out for a truly custom look.
If you see that badge, you can be confident your peripherals will work beautifully with our software. It will take you to the Sync Devices tab with all your compatible hardware listed below. After updating your drivers if you're asked to do so , you can choose which of these devices you'd like to group together and then move on to the lighting settings themselves.
