The first retail card based on ATI's latest R420 core to appear in VNU Labs came from one of ATI's long time partners, Sapphire Technology.
As you can guess from the name, the Radeon X800 Pro uses the 12-pipeline version of the R420 and, as is usual for the first of the retail cards, it?s clone of the reference ATI design complete with red PCB and reference heatsink and fan.
It's a nice, compact card. At first glance you could you were looking at one the previous Radeon 9800XT cards because they look similar.
Bundled with the card are the usual goodies from Sapphire: all the cables you need, including power, plus copies of Tomb Raider, CyberLink PowerDVD, Tweak (overclocking utility) and a driver CD.
Although the Sapphire Radeon X800 Pro is excellent value for money even at its full price, you can find it up to £40 cheaper if you shop around.
